Suspension and Steering Service in Kwinana Beach | Rockingham Fleet & Mechanical Services

Under Car Often Equals Overlooked

Regular servicing is the cornerstone of vehicle safety and performance. While many drivers focus on oil changes or brake checks, the often-overlooked suspension and steering systems play an equally critical role in keeping you safe on the road...

A well-maintained suspension ensures your tyres stay in firm contact with the surface, while a precise steering system delivers reliable control and responsive handling. Neglecting these systems can lead to uneven tyre wear, reduced braking efficiency and even loss of control—so it pays to have them inspected regularly.

Why Regular Suspension and Steering Service Matters

1. Safety First

Worn suspension components can compromise braking distances and vehicle stability during emergency manoeuvres. Similarly, steering faults can make the car wander or pull to one side, increasing the risk of accidents. Regular inspections catch issues early, keeping your vehicle safe under all driving conditions.

2. Optimised Handling and Comfort

Shock absorbers, struts and springs work together to absorb bumps and maintain tyre contact. When these parts degrade, you’ll feel every pothole and dip, and cornering can become unpredictable. Servicing restores the original ride quality and ensures smooth, confident handling.

3. Prolonged Component Life

Misalignment and worn steering parts accelerate tyre wear, costing you money in premature replacements. Keeping suspension bushes, ball joints and tie rods in top condition not only enhances safety but also extends the life of your tyres and other related components.

4. Warranty Protection

As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, Rockingham Fleet & Mechanical Services uses quality parts backed by a nationwide warranty—so you can drive with added peace of mind.

Common Suspension and Steering Warning Signs

Vehicle owners should remain alert to these tell-tale symptoms, which often signal that a service is due:

Uneven or Accelerated Tyre Wear
Patchy tread wear suggests misalignment or worn suspension joints.
Vehicle Pulling to One Side
Steering drift often indicates alignment issues or damaged steering components.
Excessive Bouncing
After traversing bumps, the car should settle quickly. Continued bouncing points to worn shock absorbers or struts.
Steering Wheel Vibrations
Noticeable shake at certain speeds may be due to unbalanced wheels, worn wheel bearings or steering rack play.
Clunking or Squeaking Noises
Sounds when turning or going over bumps generally mean worn ball joints, bushes or mounts.
Loose or Hard Steering
Difficulty turning the wheel or a vague, “loose” feel indicates possible steering rack or pump problems.

If you experience any of these issues, schedule a suspension and steering inspection promptly to avoid more costly repairs down the line.
