Steering and Suspension

CAR STEERING AND SUSPENSION

Car steering and suspension components are probably the most forgotten and neglected part of your vehicle. As they wear down slowly and only need to be replaced periodically, many drivers fail to recognise how much they wear down over time. Yet these components could be the difference between avoiding and getting into a sticky situation, so it’s worth taking care of your steering and suspension components. Fortunately, Exalt’d Automotive has a team of car suspension specialists in Melbourne who can provide a wide range of steering and car suspension repair services.

Steering

From steering rack ends to tie rod ends, these are normally grease filled and use ball joints to steer your vehicle. However, the stress and strain involved with turning your vehicle causes these to have excessive movement over time which makes your steering feel vague and in some cases even causes wear of your tyres. Getting these components checked and serviced keeps your steering in optimal condition so you can maximise the control of your vehicle. For cars with hydraulic power steering, power steering fluid changes and additives also assist with the longevity of the steering system.

SUSPENSION

From shock absorbers to control arms and caster arms, all these components are mainly rubber based. They harden over time and start cracking, causing creaking noises and excessive articulation of the bushes which translates into wayward vehicle stopping and steering. Shock absorbers also lose gas and fluid over time, leading to excessive wear of tyres as well as a bouncy ride and shuddering, which in turn affects your braking capacities and safety.

Constant checking of these systems, as well as replacing these components, will keep you safe and help with your vehicle dynamics as well as safety and braking.
