FAQs | Suspension Repairs
Below you’ll find the answers to some of the most common questions about a vehicle’s suspension and how it can be repaired. Get in touch today if you notice any issues with your car’s suspension including poor handling, strange noises, or uneven tyre wear.
What are the main causes of suspension damage?
- Driving over potholes or speed bumps (particularly at higher speeds).
- Hitting the kerb at speed.
- Poorly aligned wheels.
- Overloading the vehicle.
- Aftermarket modifications which are either incorrectly fitted or unsuitable for the vehicle.
- General wear and tear over time.
Can damaged suspension result in an MOT failure?
Yes, damaged suspension will result in an MOT fail, and accounts for approximately 13-21% of all MOT failures. The most common issues include:
- Fractured springs
- Leaking shock absorbers
- Worn suspension bushings
Can I drive with damaged suspension?
It’s highly advised not to drive a vehicle if you notice any issues with the suspension. Not only can this be unsafe, but it can also lead to more expensive repairs being required further down the road. It’s important to get your vehicle checked as soon as possible if you notice any signs of a damaged suspension.
How often should the suspension be checked?
It’s recommended to get your vehicle’s suspension checked at least annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. This can be performed as part of a full service, to identify any issues before they become dangerous or costly.
Why does my car make a noise when going over bumps?
A clunking noise when going over a bump is a common indication of worn suspension components such as bushings or ball joints. Getting this inspected by a mechanic early is important to prevent costly repairs in the future.
Do I need a wheel aligment after the suspension is repaired?
In most cases, the wheel alignment will need to be checked and adjusted following any repairs being carried out on the suspension. We offer a wheel alignment service so can include this in the cost of our quote.
How long do the suspension components last?
The exact amount of time the different suspension components last on a vehicle is highly variable and depends on the make and model, and driving style. Here are some estimates:
- Shock absorbers and struts: 50,000-100,000 miles
- Ball joints: 75,000-150,000 miles
- Bushings: 75,000-125,000 miles
