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.

Gearbox mounts play a critical role in securing the transmission to the chassis while isolating vibration and controlling drivetrain movement. In 4WDs and high-kilometre vehicles, gearbox mounts are subjected to constant load, torque, and movement, which can lead to wear over time and negatively affect driveline performance.

Maintaining gearbox mounts helps ensure stable drivetrain alignment and smooth transmission operation.

Why Replace Gearbox Mounts?

As gearbox mounts deteriorate, excessive movement can develop during acceleration, braking, or gear changes. This can result in vibration, harsh shifting, driveline noise, and increased stress on surrounding components such as tailshafts, exhaust systems, and crossmembers.

Replacing worn gearbox mounts helps restore correct gearbox positioning, reduce unwanted movement, and improve overall driveline stability. This is especially important for vehicles used off-road, for towing, or under constant load.

Gearbox Mount Range

The gearbox mount range includes replacement mounts designed to support drivetrain stability and vibration control.

Gearbox mounts: Gearbox mounts secure the transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and torque movement. Upgraded or replacement mounts help reduce gearbox shift, improve driveline alignment, and support smoother transmission operation.

Each mount is engineered for correct fitment and long-term durability.

Key Benefits of Gearbox Mounts

Reduced gearbox movement and vibration

Improved driveline alignment and stability

Smoother gear changes

Reduced stress on drivetrain and exhaust components

Replacement solution for worn factory mounts

Maintaining gearbox mounts helps support reliable transmission performance.

Who Are Gearbox Mounts For?

Gearbox mounts are well suited to:

Vehicles experiencing vibration or harsh shifting

4WDs used for towing or off-road driving

High-kilometre vehicles requiring drivetrain maintenance

Owners seeking improved driveline control and refinement

Replacing worn mounts helps restore controlled gearbox behaviour.
