Most motorists focus on buying quality tyres for their vehicle to improve driving comfort and safety. However, an optimally functioning suspension system is equally important to maintain control over your vehicle. The suspension system absorbs road shocks and ensures your tyres maintain proper contact with the road. If you notice any issues with your vehicle's suspension, V-Tech Auto provides fast and efficient suspension repair Reading.
What is suspension repair?
Suspension repair involves servicing components like shock absorbers, springs, and linkages between wheels and steering. The service also includes replacing suspension callipers, hub bearings, and struts. After completing the repairs, our experts test your vehicle for shock absorption, lateral acceleration, and steering response to ensure correct functioning.
Experts recommend having your car’s suspension inspected annually or after 50,000 miles.
Benefits of Suspension Repair
- Enhanced car performance: Repairing shock absorbers ensures wheels and tyres maintain optimal road contact, improving power delivery and cornering performance.
- Prevents additional expenses: Suspension repair prevents damage from spreading to other components, reducing future repair costs.
- Increased comfort: Replacing worn shock absorbers improves comfort even on challenging terrain, providing a smoother driving experience.
Risks of driving on damaged suspension
- Unresponsive steering wheel: Damaged suspension disrupts the connection between steering and wheels, causing your vehicle to pull to one side.
- Aquaplaning in wet weather: Faulty suspension reduces tyre contact with the road, increasing the risk of aquaplaning.
- Misalignment of wheels: Worn suspension springs and struts affect wheel alignment angles.
- Reduced comfort: Damaged suspension arms and shock absorbers cause excessive vibrations, reducing control during high-speed driving or cornering.
Reasons for a damaged suspension system
- Driving with underinflated or overinflated tyres
- Hitting kerbs or driving through potholes at high speeds
- Driving with imbalanced wheels
- Collisions with poles or dividers
