Tracking straight, riding right
Worn suspension and steering wreck tyres, punish drivers and make a heavy vehicle dangerous to control. We repair springs, airbags, bushes, shocks and steering so your truck tracks true and rides as it should.
Suspension and steering do a lot more than smooth out the bumps. They keep the wheels planted, the truck tracking straight, the load stable and the driver in control — and they take a savage beating doing it. Heavy loads, rough roads, kerbs and constant flexing wear out springs, airbags, bushes, shock absorbers, pins and steering components steadily and invisibly, until one day the truck is wandering across the lane, eating tyres, crashing over bumps or pulling to one side. Worn suspension is not just uncomfortable — at highway speed with a heavy load, it is a genuine safety risk.
We inspect and repair the complete suspension and steering system on prime movers, rigids and trailers. That means leaf and parabolic springs, air suspension and bags, shock absorbers, torque rods, U-bolts, hangers, bushes, kingpins, tie-rod ends, drag links and steering boxes. We get the truck up, we go over it methodically, and we find the worn and damaged components that are quietly costing you tyres, fuel and control — then we put them right with quality parts set up to specification.

Your tyres are telling you something
Premature or uneven tyre wear is one of the loudest warnings a truck can give you, and it almost always traces back to suspension, steering or alignment. A worn bush, a tired shock, a bent component or a steering fault changes how the tyre meets the road, and on a heavy vehicle running expensive drive and steer tyres, that wear adds up to serious money fast. When we fix the suspension and steering and get the alignment right, your tyres last longer, your fuel economy improves and your truck stops trying to wander off the road on its own.
Comfort that keeps drivers
Good drivers are hard to find and harder to keep, and a truck that rides like a brick on every shift is a quick way to lose them. Worn suspension transmits every bump and corrugation straight into the cab and the driver's back. Restoring the suspension to proper condition is not just a mechanical fix — it makes the truck safer, more comfortable and more controllable, and it tells your drivers that the equipment they spend their working life in is being looked after.

Suspension & Steering questions
Usually worn suspension or steering components, or wheel alignment that's out. We inspect the lot, replace what's worn and align the truck so your tyres wear evenly and last.
Yes. We work on leaf, parabolic and air suspension, including airbags, levelling valves and height-control faults, on prime movers, rigids and trailers.
It can be. Wandering usually points to worn steering, suspension or bearing components and is worth checking promptly, because at speed with a heavy load it affects control and safety.
