SIGNS THAT YOU NEED A SUSPENSION CHECK
Signs of Common Suspension & Steering Problems
Common car suspension issues include problems with wheel alignment, bushings, shocks, struts, springs, dampers, ball joints, tie rods, sway bars and stabilisers. Our highly skilled technicians have years of experience repairing and replacing these components so that your car performs like new again.
If there is excessive noise coming from your car when you drive over bumps, this might indicate a problem with one of your suspension components.
Problems with your car’s steering can include worn out bearings, broken rack arms, bent pins, loose knuckles, cracked shafts and misaligned gears. If you notice unusual noises while turning corners, then talk to an auto mechanic about your steering system.
Signs of vehicle steering problems include jerking movements, uneven tire wear, poor handling, loss of power and difficulty controlling speed.
Talk to an auto technician at PCTA if you suspect your car has a steering issue. Our team can diagnose whether it’s something simple such as a bad bearing or more complex such as a faulty gearbox.
FAQ SECTION
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a suspension system in a car?
Your car’s suspension system connects the wheels to the chassis and controls how it rides and handles. It includes springs, shocks, struts, control arms, and bushings.
The suspension keeps your tyres in contact with the road and smooths out bumps. A good suspension setup improves comfort, handling, and braking.

How Do I Know If My Suspension Needs Repairing?
Signs your suspension may need attention include unusual noises when driving over bumps, excessive bouncing, or a rough ride. Other indicators can be uneven tyre wear, difficulty steering, or the vehicle pulling to one side. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your suspension inspected by a professional. At PCTA, we can quickly diagnose and repair any suspension issues, ensuring your vehicle is safe and comfortable to drive.
How Often Should I Have My Suspension Inspected?
It’s recommended to have your suspension inspected every 20,000 km or during your regular vehicle service. However, if you frequently drive on rough roads or notice signs like uneven tyre wear or a rough ride, it’s important to get your suspension checked sooner. Regular inspections help identify minor issues before they become major problems. At PCTA, our team can thoroughly inspect your suspension and address any concerns to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
How Can I Get Rid of the Annoying Noise When Driving Over Bumps?
If you’re hearing a clunking or squeaking noise every time you drive over a bump, it’s likely due to a suspension issue, such as worn shocks, struts, or bushings. These components help absorb impact and maintain smoothness on rough roads. Addressing the issue promptly will not only get rid of that annoying noise but also improve the overall comfort and safety of your drive. At PCTA, our expert technicians can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, ensuring your vehicle runs quietly and efficiently.

What is a suspension bush on a car?
A suspension bush is a rubber or polyurethane component that cushions the movement between suspension parts. It reduces vibration, absorbs shock, and helps control how your car handles.
If a bush wears out, you might notice:
• Clunking noises over bumps
• Uneven tyre wear
• Poor handling or vague steering
We can inspect and replace worn suspension bushes on-site.

Would like to recommend Penrith City Tyre & Automotive. Went in with an enquiry about airbags and towing They where able to squeeze me in at short notice for non urgent work staying back after normal hours to get the job done. Fitment of airbags, new tyres allround old tyres had about 20 thousand to go but went all terrain tyres balanced and aligned so I can sooner rather than later take my caravan for a trip. Time to plan a trip now they have set my vehicle up. Thanks a bunch. I’ll be back in the future for sure. Service, repair or what ever else.

I’ve been coming to PCT&A for my car services for a few years now. Dropped my car in for a service and some bits and pieces done. Drop off and pick up were both quick and a breeze. Leon and Chris are always friendly and professional, and as someone who has been burnt by mechanics in the past, I trust these guys completely. Thank you for your service, and keep up the good work!
