Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers don't only create a comfortable ride - they are fundamental for three essential abilities that are crucial to you, your passengers' and other drivers' safety. By having them regularly serviced and kept in good order, potential problems can be avoided; however, if you detect anything out of the ordinary, reach out to Northern Car Care quickly so it can be addressed.

We are located in Thomastown and serve customers in the surrounding areas as well.

The increased clearance also protects the undercarriage of your vehicle from damage due to rocks and debris. In addition to enhancing your off-road performance, a suspension lift kit can also add value to your vehicle. So, whether you're an off-road enthusiast or just looking to upgrade your vehicle's capabilities, contact Northern Car Care, and we'll have you up and running on all terrains.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
