Suspension & Shock Absorber Servicing by Eagle Farm Auto Care

The suspension and shock absorbers in your car are not just there to give you a smooth ride, but they are integral for the correct operation of what's often referred to as the “safety triangle,” consisting of the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' three critical capabilities. Therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe.

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.
