A cars suspension is built to take care of road isolation, handling and cornering. These principles ensure your car maintains contact with the road at all times, handles well, travels a curved path as expected and is a comfortable ride.

The suspension system is an essential part of a vehicle which includes springs, shock absorbers, control arms, bushings, sway bars, ball joints and struts.

The main purpose is to keep your tyres in contact with the road and carry loads safely. Good suspension provides predictable handling and a smooth ride, while minimising tyre wear.

Borough Tyre & Auto employ specific diagnostic equipment that can identify faulty suspension components before they become a safety issue. To help select the appropriate shock absorbers for your car, talk to the team at Borough Tyre & Auto today about any special driving requirements you have like towing heavy loads, or off-roading. This will guide your technician to provide the right type of shock absorbers for your needs.

Remember if your suspension is not functioning properly it will adversely affect your brakes, tyres and steering.

The overall suspension and steering systems will be checked, the shock absorbers will be examined and replaced if required and a wheel alignment will be performed. All these activities will protect the longevity of your tyres and the overall efficiency of your car.
