Overview
Steering and suspension is the work this business was built on. We repair knocks, clunks, wander and uneven ride, fit suspension upgrades, and put cars right after accident damage to the steering or suspension. Manual and power steering racks are rebuilt here in our own workshop rather than sent out, which usually means a faster turnaround and a rack that's been checked by the people who'll align it afterwards.

What's included
- Manual and power steer rack rebuilds, done in-house
- Ball joints, tie rod ends, bushes and CV joints
- Shock absorbers and springs

Frequently asked questions
My car clunks over bumps. Can you find the cause?
Yes. We'll put it up on the hoist, check the steering and suspension joints, and tell you what's worn and what can wait.
Is rebuilding my steering rack cheaper than replacing it?
Often, yes, and because we rebuild racks in-house you're not waiting on a part to come back from somewhere else. We'll give you the options before we start.
Do you align the car after suspension work?
Yes. Any job that changes the steering or suspension geometry is finished with an alignment so the car drives straight and the tyres wear evenly.
