Rutherford workshop

Steering & Suspension in Rutherford

Your steering and suspension keep the tyres in contact with the road, soak up bumps and keep the car stable when you brake or corner. When parts wear, the car can feel loose, bouncy or noisy. We inspect the whole system, explain what's worn and replace parts with quality components so the car drives the way it should.

What's included

Steering & Suspension at SAI Motor Works

Suspension wears gradually, so it's easy to get used to a car that rolls more in corners or bounces over bumps. Worn shocks can also lengthen stopping distances and cause uneven tyre wear, which makes them a safety item, not just a comfort one.

Between rough patches, roadworks and the odd gravel driveway, suspension parts work hard around Rutherford and the wider Hunter. If your car feels different from how it used to, book it in for a check.

  • Shock absorber and strut replacement
  • Coil spring and leaf spring checks
  • Control arm and suspension bush replacement
  • Ball joint and tie rod end replacement
  • Power steering checks and repairs
  • Wheel alignment after steering or suspension work
