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.

FPV GT SERIES Control arms are a critical suspension component that connects the chassis to the wheel hub or steering knuckle, guiding wheel movement through suspension travel while maintaining correct alignment angles. They play a major role in handling stability, steering response, and tyre wear control, making them essential for both on-road comfort and off-road durability.

On FPV GT SERIESs driven under load, control arms also help manage higher suspension forces, especially during articulation, braking, and cornering.

Why Replace or Upgrade FPV GT SERIES Control Arms?

FPV GT SERIES Control arms can wear over time through bushing deterioration, joint wear, or impact damage from rough roads and off-road driving. When control arms lose integrity, alignment can shift, steering can feel vague, and suspension movement can become inconsistent. This can lead to uneven tyre wear, reduced stability, and increased stress on other suspension components.

Replacing or upgrading control arms helps restore correct suspension geometry and improves overall vehicle control. Upgraded control arms are also beneficial after suspension lifts, where additional adjustment or strength may be needed to maintain correct alignment and articulation.

FPV GT SERIES Control Arm Range

The control arm range includes replacement and upgrade options designed to restore suspension stability and alignment control.

FPV GT SERIES Control arms: Control arms provide structural support for suspension movement and help maintain wheel positioning through full suspension travel. Quality control arms help restore correct alignment geometry, improve handling consistency, and support long-term suspension reliability.

These components are engineered for correct fitment, durability, and performance under real-world conditions.
