A Smoother, Safer Ride

1 Holbrook St, Invermay TAS 7250

A rough, unstable or noisy ride is often down to worn suspension or steering components, especially on gravel roads and rural drives. At Beecheys Service Centre, we provide suspension repairs in Launceston for cars, 4WDs, caravans and work vehicles that see plenty of kilometres. Our team inspects shock absorbers, struts, bushes and steering components to identify exactly what's causing the issue. From there, we repair or replace worn parts to restore a stable, comfortable ride. This matters as much for daily commuters as it does for tradies and caravan owners covering long distances on unsealed roads. Suspension wear can also throw out your wheel alignment, so it's worth having both checked at the same visit. Call (03) 6331 2948 to book a suspension check.

Suspension and Steering Issues We Repair

Suspension and steering wear can develop slowly, so it's not always obvious until the ride noticeably changes.

  • Worn shock absorbers and struts are replaced to restore control and comfort, particularly over rough or uneven roads. This also helps protect tyres from uneven wear.
  • Bushes and mounts are checked for wear, since a worn bush can cause clunking noises and looser handling. We replace these to tighten up the ride.
  • Steering components connected to the suspension are inspected as part of a full check. This helps identify issues that affect both ride quality and handling.
  • Vehicles that regularly carry heavy loads or tow are checked for extra wear, since this can accelerate suspension damage. We recommend more frequent checks for these vehicles.

Common questions

Suspension & Steering, answered

A bouncy or unsettled ride, clunking noises over bumps and uneven tyre wear are common signs of worn suspension. The vehicle may also feel less stable through corners.

Yes, worn suspension components can change the angles your wheels sit at, throwing out the alignment. This is why alignment checks are often recommended alongside suspension repairs.

Suspension should be checked as part of regular servicing, particularly for vehicles driven on rough or unsealed roads. Vehicles carrying heavy loads or towing regularly may need more frequent checks.
