Your car’s suspension is more than just a way to make driving more comfortable – its an integral part of the vehicle’s design which plays an important role in safety and handling.

If your ride isn’t as smooth as you remember it being, it might be a good idea to take your vehicle in for a steering and suspension service from our team of mechanics. At SNJ Tyres and Mechanical, we carry out a thorough examination of your car’s suspension system, checking shocks absorbers for wear, replacing any bushings, and performing a wheel alignment to ensure even wear on your tyres. All this work helps protect against expensive damage under the bonnet – both now and in future.

A car's steering system - By turning the steering wheel, the car's steering system adjusts the wheel direction with a minor adjustment in order to direct the vehicle. This effort is passed onto the wheels through pivot joints that allow the wheels to move up and down with the suspension system without hindering the angle of the steering.

A car's suspension is designed to give a pleasant journey, enable efficient handling, and facilitate maneuverability. These fundamentals guarantee that your car is in constant contact with the ground, allows you to make quick turns and curves, and offers an enjoyable ride.

Shock absorbers and struts act as an essential component of a car's suspension, moderating the jarring effects of bumps and other irregularities in the road. Their functionality is cyclic, enabling them to adjust during both compression and extension movements. Furthermore, they are equipped with velocity sensitivity, reacting more vigorously at higher speeds to guarantee a more comfortable ride.

Our mechanics will service your suspension and steering systems; this includes replacing springs, shock absorbers and bushings. A regular suspension and steering service will ensure the comfort and safety of your passengers by ensuring your vehicle handles well in all conditions. All these activities will protect the longevity of your tyres which will increase fuel efficiency over time.
