How your repair works
-
1
Play and pry-bar inspection
We raise the car on the ramp and use pry tools to check for subtle slack in every rubber bush and ball joint.
-
2
Dampers and springs check
We check spring coils for stress cracks at the base and inspect damper bodies for hydraulic oil seepage.
-
3
Component replacement
We unbolt seized hardware, fit fresh OE-grade steering components, and torque bolts at curb ride height.
-
4
Tracking alignment check
We set toe angles to keep the steering wheel straight and prevent uneven outer tyre scrub.
Questions about this service
Can I replace just one broken spring?
We recommend replacing springs in axle pairs so your car sits level and handles predictably over bumps.
What causes that metallic knocking sound over speed bumps?
Worn anti-roll bar drop links are the usual culprits. They are straightforward and inexpensive to change.
Will my steering wheel be straight after the repair?
Yes, we check alignment whenever we disturb track rods or suspension arms to keep the wheel dead straight.
What local drivers say
Brought my estate car in for a major service and front brake replacement. The pedal feel is clean and firm, the bill matched the quote to the penny, and Martin took the time to show me the old discs.
David M., Bristol, GBNo dealership nonsense or upselling. They diagnosed a stubborn suspension knock that another garage missed, fixed the link rod, and had the car ready by three in the afternoon.
Sarah H., Bath, GBBooked in for fluid renewals and brake pads. Everything was completed on time, settled easily by bank transfer at the desk, and the engine feels noticeably smoother on the commute.
