At Collie Auto-Tech, we understand the importance of these systems and offer expert suspension and steering services in Collie to keep you driving with confidence.

1. Suspension System
The suspension consists of various components such as shocks, struts, springs, and linkages, designed to absorb bumps, reduce vibrations, and provide stability. It keeps the vehicle level and maintains proper tire contact with the road surface. A well-functioning suspension system ensures a smoother ride and prevents excessive wear on other parts of your vehicle.

2. Steering System
The steering system allows you to control the direction of your vehicle. Most modern vehicles use power steering, which makes turning the wheel easier by reducing the effort required. A responsive steering system is essential for vehicle safety, as it allows the driver to make precise adjustments, particularly in emergency situations.

• Uneven or Bumpy Ride: If your vehicle feels rough or bouncy, it may indicate problems with the shocks or struts. A malfunctioning suspension system can lead to poor handling and discomfort while driving.

• Difficulty Steering: If the steering wheel becomes hard to turn, it could be a sign of issues with the power steering fluid or a failing pump. This can make driving difficult and unsafe.

• Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle pulls to one side while driving, this could be caused by misaligned wheels, suspension problems, or worn-out steering components.

• Strange Noises: Clunking, squeaking, or grinding noises when turning or driving over bumps may signal that there are issues with the suspension or steering components.

If you experience any of these problems, it’s essential to have your vehicle inspected and repaired promptly to ensure your safety and comfort on the road.

• Shock Absorber and Strut Replacement: If your shocks or struts are worn, you may experience a rough ride or handling issues. We can replace them with high-quality parts to restore your vehicle’s smooth ride.
• Spring Repairs and Replacements: Springs play a vital role in supporting the weight of the vehicle. If your vehicle seems to sag or is lower on one side, it may indicate a problem with the springs.
• Suspension System Alignment: Proper alignment of suspension components ensures even tire wear and better handling. Our technicians can perform precise alignment to restore your vehicle’s stability and performance.
• Suspension Bushes and Linkages: Worn-out bushes or linkages can cause clunking noises or a loose steering feel. We provide repairs and replacements to maintain the integrity of your suspension system.

• Power Steering Fluid Check and Refill: Low or contaminated power steering fluid can make steering difficult and may damage the power steering pump. We’ll inspect and refill your power steering fluid to ensure smooth and easy steering.
• Steering Rack Repairs or Replacements: A damaged steering rack can cause difficulty in steering and may even lead to complete steering failure. We offer steering rack repairs or replacements to restore your vehicle’s handling.
• Steering Linkage and Tie Rods: Worn-out tie rods or steering linkages can cause uneven steering and a loose feel. Our team can replace these components to ensure responsive and accurate steering.
• Alignment and Steering System Adjustments: If your vehicle pulls to one side or the steering wheel feels off-center, it could be due to misalignment. We’ll perform steering system adjustments to restore proper alignment and prevent uneven tire wear.
