Common Signs of Suspension Trouble
Your car’s suspension components aren’t always visible, but they’ll certainly let you know when something’s wrong. Here are a few warning signs to look out for:
If your vehicle feels loose or unsteady around corners, if your steering feels off or overly slack, or if you’re hearing clunks or creaks from underneath the car, don’t ignore it. These symptoms often indicate wear in your shock absorbers, struts or bushings, all of which can compromise safety, especially at speed or in wet conditions.
Ultra Tune technicians can quickly assess the issue and recommend the right fix, with a clear explanation and competitive pricing.

Why Suspension Health Matters
Worn-out shocks and damaged suspension parts reduce braking effectiveness and cause uneven tyre wear. Left untreated, they can increase stopping distance, decrease steering control, and affect how your car handles in emergencies. It’s not just about comfort — it’s about keeping your car roadworthy and safe.
Looking to improve overall vehicle performance? Pair your suspension check with a wheel alignment service to maximise tyre lifespan and steering precision.
