Suspension and steering repairs in Swindon

Knocks over bumps, a car that wanders or pulls, or a hum that rises with speed. We find the worn part, whether it is a shock, spring, bush, link, joint or bearing, and replace it.

What you might notice

Knocking or clunking

Usually over speed bumps or potholes. Drop links and bushes are common causes.

Pulling or wandering

Worn joints or tracking that is out can make the car hard to keep straight.

Humming at speed

A drone that rises with road speed is often a wheel bearing.

Bouncy or uneven ride

Tired shock absorbers or a broken spring change how the car sits and handles.

Parts we replace

Shock absorbers

Replaced in pairs on the same axle.

Coil springs

Broken springs replaced. See our coil spring page.

Questions we get asked

What causes a knock over bumps?

Drop links, bushes and shock absorber mounts are the usual suspects. We check them with the car raised.

Do shocks need replacing in pairs?

Yes, on the same axle, so both sides behave the same.

Will I need the tracking done?

After steering parts such as track rod ends are replaced, yes. We check and set it.

Is a humming noise serious?

A worn wheel bearing gets louder and can become unsafe, so get it checked soon.

What warranty is there?

Our own 12-month / 12,000-mile parts and labour warranty, honoured at our Royston and Swindon workshops.
