Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

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.

Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of all internal combustion engines which means they tend to be more efficient than petrol engines.

While certain models can be initially more expensive than a petrol vehicle and cost slightly more for quality servicing, in the long-term, diesel vehicles usually use up to 30% less fuel and have a longer engine life as well as lower CO2 emissions and greater towing abilities.

Efficiency aside, there are other factors that make diesel engines different to petrol engines;

Because diesel engines suffer from carbon build up which can cause damage to the engine - it's important to stick to a regular service schedule, so any problems can be identified early. Neglecting to do so can lead to very expensive repairs.

Diesel vehicles have a different type of plug called a Glow Plug….What's a glow plug? In a diesel engine a glow plug heats the cold fuel ready to be ignited under pressure, diesel engines don't use a spark to ignite like petrol engines.
