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

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

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

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

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.

CV Joints & Boots: Understanding How They Work and Why They Matter. 

CV joints and boots are essential components of your vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. 

 The CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is designed to allow for smooth and efficient power transfer even when the wheels are turning at different speeds, such as when turning or going over bumps. 

The boot, which surrounds the CV joint, provides crucial protection from dirt and debris that can damage the joint and cause it to fail.

Without properly functioning CV joints and boots, your vehicle may experience significant issues such as vibrations, difficulty turning, and ultimately a breakdown. 

At Brendale Automotive, we offer high-quality CV joint and boot replacements as well as expert installation services to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably. Trust us to provide the parts and services you need for optimal performance and longevity.

If there are issues such as a cracked or torn boot or not enough high pressure grease, then the CV joint can fail. Symptoms include poor handling around corners, vibrating or an audible clicking sound whilst cornering.

Contact us at the first sign of trouble because repairing a torn boot and refilling the grease is a relatively cheap and easy procedure but if you leave it you could end up with a failed joint which needs to be replaced. We are located in Brendale and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic equipment to keep your car running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from our Repco Nationwide Warranty along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a neighbourhood shop

Education: Not only are our mechanics attending ongoing seminars and checking service bulletins via the National Auto Tech training program, but they are always available to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

High Pressure Grease re­filling (this goes in the boot)

Clicking sound when turning which may be caused from a loss of the high pressure grease due to a cracked boot.

Growling when the vehicle is in motion due to a broken or loose CV joint.

Vibrations when accelerating due to a worn joint.
