Address Changes in Ride and Handling
When a car feels unstable, sits unevenly or develops new noises over bumps, the suspension deserves a closer look. Our mechanics at Motorhead Garage carry out suspension repairs in Tweed Heads and assess related steering concerns. Problems such as stiffness, looseness or pulling can have different causes, so we inspect the relevant parts before suggesting a repair.
Our work covers cars, 4WDs and light vehicles, with checks of shock absorbers, springs, bushes, ball joints and steering connections. A careful diagnosis helps separate worn components from concerns that need further investigation. If the tyres show uneven wear, we'll discuss how that relates to the vehicle's handling.
Suspension and brake performance both affect how a car responds on the road, so our brake repairs may also be relevant. To describe a concern or book an assessment, call 0412 811 104.

Steering and Suspension Parts We Assess
Suspension and steering systems work together to control ride comfort, wheel movement and the driver's sense of control.
Shock absorbers and struts.We investigate excessive bouncing, knocking and changes in ride quality. Worn units may need replacement after an inspection confirms their condition.
Springs and bushes.We assess visible wear, movement and related noises. Deteriorated bushes or damaged springs can change how the suspension behaves.
Ball joints and connections.We look for looseness or deterioration in parts that help locate and steer the wheels. An inspection helps determine which components require attention.
Steering response.We examine relevant steering components when turning feels heavy, vague or inconsistent. We explain the findings and recommend further work based on the fault identified.
