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.

Ball Joint Replacement Kit for Vehicle

Ball joint replacement kits provide a complete solution for restoring steering and suspension performance by replacing worn ball joints and the supporting hardware required for proper fitment. Ball joints connect the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing suspension movement and steering articulation while supporting vehicle load and maintaining correct alignment geometry.

When ball joints wear, steering safety and handling precision can be compromised. Replacing them as a kit helps ensure the job is done correctly and consistently.

Why Use a Ball Joint Replacement Kit?

Ball joints are exposed to constant load, movement, and contamination from dust, water, and road grime. Over time, they can develop play, leading to steering looseness, clunking noises, wandering steering, and uneven tyre wear. In severe cases, ball joint failure can cause loss of control.

Ball joint replacement kits provide an efficient way to replace worn joints with all the parts needed for a complete repair. This supports correct installation, helps restore alignment stability, and improves long-term suspension reliability, especially for 4x4s driven off-road or under load.

Ball Joint Replacement Kit Range

The ball joint replacement kit range includes complete kits designed for effective suspension servicing.

Ball joint replacement kits: Ball joint replacement kits include ball joints and any associated parts required for replacement, helping ensure correct fitment and reliable performance. They are designed to restore steering precision, reduce unwanted play, and maintain stable suspension geometry.

Using a kit simplifies servicing and ensures all related components are refreshed together.
