Steering & Suspension

At Randwick Car Care European Car Service, we believe in full-scope repairs, which means that we look deeper than the immediate issue to see if another regularity needs to be corrected. At other Sydney auto repair shops, you may find yourself returning after a short time to have the same fix done again. It's not because they did a bad job, but rather that they only fixed the immediate problem instead of investigating to find why it's happening in the first place.

Nowhere does this full-scope system have more implementation than with steering and suspension problems. The most obvious result of a steering or suspension problem is misaligned wheels and while this issue will need a repair, failing to change a faulty steering or suspension part will mean that the same problem will reappear quickly. For that reason, we include full steering and suspension inspections with every wheel alignment job. In particular, we're looking at the following parts, each of which could contribute to the wheel alignment problem.

• Ball joints
• Sway bar links
• Idler arms/Pitman arms
• Tie rod ends/sleeves
• CV axle half shafts
• Struts/cartridges
• Universal joints/springs
• Bushings
• Centre links
• Rack and pinion units
• CV joints/boots
• Shock absorbers
• Coil springs

Shocks & Struts Replacement

While you may not notice when many of the previously mentioned parts start to erode or degrade, you'll certainly feel it when your shocks or struts lose their functionality. Not only will it become more difficult to control your vehicle while driving in Sydney, your ride quality will also go down, resulting in an uncomfortable experience every time you sit down behind the wheel. Randwick Car Care European Car Service has the solution in the form of inexpensive shocks and struts replacement that will greatly improve your driving time. If you think it may be time for a shocks or struts replacement job, be on the lookout for the following warning signs:

• Tyre bounce
• Reduced suspension control
• Uneven tyre wear
• Impaired handling
• Decreased braking performance
• Excessive vibration
