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.

Engine mounts and bushes are critical for securing the engine in the correct position while isolating vibration from the chassis. In 4WDs and high-kilometre vehicles, these components are subjected to constant torque, heat, and movement, which can lead to premature wear and excessive engine movement over time.

Maintaining engine mounts and bushes helps protect drivetrain alignment and supports smooth, controlled engine operation.

Why Replace Engine Mounts and Bushes?

As engine mounts and bushes deteriorate, excessive engine movement can occur during acceleration, braking, or gear changes. This can lead to vibration, knocking noises, harsh driveline response, and increased strain on hoses, wiring, exhaust components, and drivetrain mounts.

Replacing worn engine mounts and bushes helps restore correct engine positioning, reduce vibration, and protect surrounding components from premature wear. This is especially important for 4WDs used off-road, for towing, or under constant load.

Engine Mount & Bush Range

The engine mount and bush range includes replacement components designed to restore stability and vibration control.

Engine mounts: Engine mounts secure the engine to the chassis while absorbing vibration and torque movement. Replacing worn mounts helps reduce engine shift, improve driveline alignment, and restore smooth operation.

Engine mount bushes: Engine mount bushes replace worn or degraded bushings within the mount assembly. They help control movement, reduce noise, and support consistent engine positioning.

These components can be replaced individually or as part of a broader drivetrain refresh.

Key Benefits of Engine Mounts and Bushes

Reduced engine movement and vibration

Improved driveline alignment and response

Protection of hoses, wiring, and exhaust components

Smoother acceleration and gear changes

Replacement solution for worn or ageing mounts

Maintaining engine mounting components plays an important role in overall vehicle reliability.

Who Are Engine Mounts and Bushes For?

Engine mounts and bushes are well suited to:

Vehicles experiencing vibration or engine movement

4WDs used for towing or off-road driving

High-kilometre vehicles requiring drivetrain maintenance

Owners seeking improved engine stability and refinement

Replacing worn mounts helps restore controlled engine behaviour.
