We inspect and replace supported suspension components such as shock absorbers, coil springs, suspension arms, bushes, ball joints and drop links where required.

Our workshop is at Unit 3 Glass Court, 70 Hayes Lane, Stourbridge, DY9 8QT. Customers also visit from Dudley, Halesowen, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas.

Accepted Answer

Yes. We inspect the relevant braking or suspension components first and explain the fault and quotation before carrying out additional repair work.

Question 6

Question 7

How much does brake pad and disc replacement cost in Birmingham?

Question 8

Why does my steering wheel shake when braking?

Accepted Answer

Steering-wheel vibration when braking can have several causes, including disc condition, hub issues or movement in suspension components. An inspection is needed to identify the cause before replacing parts.

Question 9

What causes knocking or clunking noises over bumps?

Accepted Answer

Knocking over bumps may be linked to worn anti-roll-bar drop links, bushes, suspension arms, ball joints or mounts. Different faults can produce similar noises, so the affected components should be checked before repair.

Question 10

How do I know if my shock absorbers need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Leaking dampers, repeated bouncing after bumps, poor body control or uneven tyre wear may suggest worn shock absorbers, but these symptoms are not conclusive on their own. We inspect the relevant suspension components before recommending replacement.

Question 11

Is it safe to drive with grinding brakes or a broken suspension spring?

Accepted Answer

Grinding brakes, significantly reduced braking performance or a suspected broken suspension spring can make a vehicle unsafe. Do not continue driving if control or stopping ability may be compromised; stop safely and arrange professional assistance or recovery.
