Suspension

Book A Suspension Check

The suspension system is a vital part of a vehicle; it has a direct impact on the steering, road holding and braking capabilities of the car.

On the suspension system there are many moving parts, the main component of which is rubber that can dry out over a period of time and can crack and perish. In the worst situation the rubber components can split.

You may be able to recognise when a component has become defective, some of the effects could be:

Symptoms

  • When pulling away from a standstill a knocking noise may occur from the front of the vehicle.
  • When travelling along uneven surfaces, i.e. speed humps or bumpy roads, once again a knocking noise may be heard from either end of the vehicle and the ride in the vehicle may be an uncomfortable one.
  • On a straight road, i.e. a motorway, if one side at the front of the vehicle there is a defective component, the vehicle will drift or pull to the defective side.

An important part of the suspension is the shock absorbers, these are usually hydraulic or gas filled. They are essential to control the bounce on the vehicle and to ensure the tyres are kept firmly on the road. Damaged and worn shock absorbers can reduce the braking efficiency, cause poor cornering and tyre wears.

It is very important to have regular checks on your vehicle, whether it is every 6 or 12 months, to ensure that the ride comfort and suspension system are kept at an optimum level. The suspension system is fully checked over as part of our routine servicing to make sure that you remain as safe and comfortable as possible. With all our technicians being highly trained and fully experienced you can rest assured that you and your vehicle are in safe hands.

Free suspension checks and advice are available from our trained technicians, just call in or contact us.

    I used Harrow Service Centre for the first time for a service and MOT - I am always wary of trying new places for car servicing having been treated poorly elsewhere previously - and was pleasantly surprised. HSC were very friendly, helpful, professional and the service provided seemed thorough and good value.

    Great service again has always. I rang them up after i received my email regarding booking my latest Jaguar car for service soon. last time they did my old car service and was very happy with there service and professionalism, but I had to do long journey to midlands this time before booking my car in for service. I spoke to kush on the phone because I was abit worried about oil level on the car, has I topped up 3 litres recently has oil was very low. He said bring the car in before you go next day we do quick health check and check all the levels on car before your trip to midlands. They checked the car topped up abit more oil and was ready to go. Now my car will be booked in for some TLC in a few days get full service done can’t wait….

    Great service center. I had my Mazda 3 serviced and they were extremely easy to speak to, very clear about quotation and details, and gave a clear timeline about the diagnostic and repair schedule. They gave me good advice as well about how to better take care of my car. I was very impressed by their service and professionalism. I would trust them again with my vehicle. Thank you!
