How does car suspension work?

Suspension combines tyres, springs, shock absorbers, sway bars, links and control arms to keep the tyres in contact with the road, improving traction, braking and stability.

How much does it cost to repair suspension?

Costs depend on the parts and wear found during inspection. A checkup identifies whether bushes, shocks or other components need replacement.

How do I know if my suspension needs repair?

Look for clunks or squeaks over bumps, uneven tyre wear, poor straight-line tracking, excessive body roll or instability under braking.

Is it safe to drive with worn suspension?

No. Worn parts can reduce braking performance and control. Book an inspection before further driving.

What are common suspension problems?

Misalignment, perished OE rubber bushes, leaking or faded shocks, incorrect components installed, wrong or illegal lift setups and ride-height issues.

How long does a suspension repair take?

Typical jobs take about 1–5 hours depending on the vehicle and parts involved.

What are the signs of a bad wheel alignment?

Steering wheel off-centre, pulling to one side, vibration or tramlining, and rapid or uneven tyre wear.

What happens if I skip wheel alignments?

Handling suffers and tyres wear quickly, which increases running costs.

When should I replace suspension bushings?

Replace when you see cracks, excessive movement or noise. Polyurethane bushings are a durable upgrade where available.

When should I consider a 4x4 lift kit?

When you need more ground clearance, wheel travel or to accommodate larger tyres and accessories. Choose a vehicle-specific kit.

Do I really need a wheel alignment and suspension check?

Yes. Alignment keeps geometry correct and reduces tyre wear. A suspension check spots issues early.

How often should alignment be done?

About every 12 months or sooner after off-road use, impacts, new tyres, or suspension changes.

How often should I check the power steering rack and pump?

Follow the service schedule; a good rule of thumb is periodic checks around every 20,000 km (12,000 miles) to prevent wear-related issues.

4WD lift kits are a proven upgrade for improving off-road capability, ground clearance, and overall vehicle versatility. By increasing ride height and optimising suspension performance, lift kits allow your 4WD to better handle uneven terrain, obstacles, and larger tyre fitments while maintaining control and drivability.

This range of 4WD lift kits is designed to suit different vehicle setups, driving styles, and budgets, making it easier to find a solution that aligns with how you use your 4WD.

Why Upgrade to a 4WD Lift Kit?

Standard factory suspension is designed around road use and minimal load. When a 4WD is taken off-road or fitted with accessories, limitations in clearance, suspension travel, and ride height can quickly become apparent.

Upgrading to a 4WD lift kit helps boost off-road performance by improving underbody clearance, supporting suspension movement, and restoring ride height on vehicles carrying added weight. The result is a more capable and confident vehicle across both on-road and off-road conditions.

4WD Lift Kit Range

The 4WD lift kit range includes options designed to suit everything from budget-conscious upgrades to high-performance off-road builds.

Adjustable remote reservoir lift kits: Adjustable remote reservoir lift kits are designed for maximum suspension control and performance. With improved heat management and adjustability, these kits are well suited to demanding off-road use, touring, and extended driving on rough terrain.

Best budget lift kits: Best budget lift kits offer a practical and cost-effective way to improve ride height and off-road capability. They are ideal for daily-driven 4WDs and weekend adventures, delivering reliable performance without unnecessary complexity.

Height adjustable 4WD lift kits: Height adjustable 4WD lift kits allow ride height to be tailored to suit tyre size, vehicle load, and personal preference. These kits provide flexibility while maintaining proper suspension geometry and balanced handling.

Together, these options make it easier to choose a lift kit that matches your vehicle, budget, and off-road goals.
