The
suspension system of your vehicle is a multitude of metal arms and rods
mounted
together by their rubber bushings and joints. It is these rubber
bushings and
joints that corrode and deteriorate under the constant strain.
There is
then an inherent knock on effect from a faulty bushing giving you
further
problems if it is not repaired or replaced. Frequent inspection by a
qualified
mechanic is advisable and in particular if you hear or feel a knocking
sound
coming from the underside of your vehicle.
Incorrect
tyre wear is a costly side effect of a faulty suspension as it will
have the
effect of tilting your wheel, resulting in heavy wear to one side of
the tyre.
At Automotif we carry out a full inspection of all suspension parts during the wheel alignment process. You are assured of expert advise and adjustment from our experienced and qualified mechanics.
To ensure you get value form your tyre purchase it is imperative that your steering is aligned correctly. Incorrect steering alignment is by far the greatest factor in tyre wear and along with being dangerous to drive with, it is also going to hurt your pocket. The importance here is that all wheels are pointed in the same direction. This then eliminates drag and rubbing of the side of misaligned tyres.
Remember that your used car does not have as strong a suspension and
structure as when it left
the factory and it is for this reason we at Automotif highly recommend
Monroe Shock Absorbers.
Monroe manufacture their Shocks 20% stronger than those originally
fitted to compensate for the wear and tear.
But it horses for courses so we supply a range of different
manufacturers at different pricing levels.
Whatever the chose, we promise to give you value for money.
