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.

Steering rack mount bushes secure the steering rack to the vehicle chassis while helping isolate vibration and maintain precise steering alignment. These bushes play a key role in steering stability and feedback by preventing unwanted rack movement under load.

When steering rack mount bushes wear, steering feel can become vague and vibrations can increase through the steering wheel.

Why Replace Steering Rack Mount Bushes and Kits?

Steering rack mounts are subjected to constant steering force, vibration, and road impact. Over time, worn or softened bushes can allow the rack to shift slightly during steering input, leading to reduced precision, steering wander, and increased noise or vibration.

Replacing steering rack mount bushes helps lock the rack in position, restore steering accuracy, and reduce unwanted vibration transfer. This is especially important for 4WDs fitted with larger tyres, driven off-road, or operating under increased load.

Steering Rack Mount Bush Range

The steering rack mount bush range includes individual bushes and complete kits designed to restore rack stability.

Steering rack mount bushes: Steering rack mount bushes replace worn factory bushes to improve rack stability and reduce unwanted movement. They help restore steering response and reduce vibration.

Steering rack mount bush kits: Steering rack mount bush kits provide a complete solution for refreshing all rack mounting points at once. Replacing mounts as a set ensures consistent steering performance and long-term durability.

Both options are designed for proper fitment and tough operating conditions.
