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.

Leaf spring bushes play a critical role in controlling leaf spring movement while isolating vibration between the suspension and chassis. These bushes support the mounting points at the front and rear of the leaf spring, helping maintain correct axle location, improve stability under load, and support smooth suspension articulation.

When leaf spring bushes wear, rear suspension control, ride quality, and alignment consistency can be affected.

Why Replace Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits?

Leaf spring suspension systems operate under high load and constant movement, particularly on 4x4s used for towing, touring, and work applications. Over time, factory bushes can soften, crack, or compress, allowing excessive spring movement and contributing to suspension noise, rear-end instability, and uneven tyre wear.

Replacing worn leaf spring bushes helps restore controlled suspension movement, improve ride comfort, and maintain correct axle positioning. This is an essential maintenance upgrade for vehicles that regularly carry load or operate in harsh off-road environments.

Leaf Spring Bush Range

The leaf spring bush range includes individual bushes and complete kits designed to refresh and restore leaf spring mounting points.

Leaf spring bushes: Leaf spring bushes replace worn factory bushes to stabilise leaf spring movement and reduce vibration transfer. They support consistent suspension performance and improved durability under load.

Leaf spring bush kits: Leaf spring bush kits provide a complete solution for replacing multiple leaf spring mounting bushes at once. Replacing bushes as a set helps maintain balanced rear suspension behaviour and long-term reliability.

Both options are engineered for proper fitment and durable performance in demanding conditions.

Key Benefits of Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits

Improved rear suspension stability and axle control

Reduced suspension noise and vibration

Better ride comfort under load

Improved alignment consistency and reduced tyre wear

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining leaf spring bushes is essential for safe and predictable handling on leaf-sprung vehicles.

Who Are Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Leaf-sprung 4x4s and commercial vehicles

Vehicles used for towing, touring, or carrying constant loads

Off-road builds requiring improved rear suspension control

Owners replacing worn or noisy suspension bushes

Replacing leaf spring bushes helps restore suspension performance where it matters most.
