Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

To keep you, your passengers, and other drivers safe, having your suspension and shock absorbers serviced regularly and kept in proper condition is an absolute necessity. As these components provide three essential abilities, it's essential to seek assistance from Mitcham Auto Tune & Service if you suspect something out of the ordinary. That way, you can prevent potential issues before they become too severe.

We are located in Kingswood and serve customers in the surrounding Eastern Suburbs as well.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

• Steering Wheel Vibration or pulsing
• Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down
• Car veers in side winds
• Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering
• Uneven tyre wear
• Makes a rattling noise
• Clunking over bumps
• Bouncing, dipping and diving

Our skilled technicians will thoroughly inspect and service your vehicle's suspension and shock absorber systems. Say goodbye to bumpy rides and hello to a smoother driving experience! Don't let a little problem turn into a big one, bring your car in today and we'll get it back on track.

• Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.
• Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.
• Struts - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.
• Anti-sway bars - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
