The suspension is one of the major systems in any vehicle – it is part of the chassis, which comprises all the important systems located beneath the car’s body.
Suspension & Steering
These systems include:
- The frame– structural, load-carrying component that supports the car’s engine and body, which are in turn supported by the suspension
- The suspension system– setup that supports weight, absorbs and dampens shock and helps maintain tire contact
- The steering system – mechanism that enables the driver to guide and direct the vehicle
- The tires and wheels – components that make vehicle motion possible by way of grip and/or friction with the road
Should you care?
Our car’s suspension is generally out of sight and out of mind, but it plays a crucial role. The suspension does everything from ensuring the wheels to stay connected with the road, for better grip and braking, to stopping the car from shaking to pieces over rough surfaces. As well as smoothing a bumpy ride, it also helps steering by absorbing lateral forces that makes the car want to roll.
Both Suspension and steering systems are a main factor of your safety on the road. Old or leaking shocks can affect your handling and safety.
At Vaucluse Auto Repairs, we use the latest in suspension diagnostic.
Our Safe-T-Stop diagnostic machine measures ride quality by testing the rebound of each shock absorber, from firm to soft and issues an accurate report. Our technicians will repair or replace any components needed, so you know that your shock absorbers are working correctly for optimum suspension performance.

I’ve just moved into the area and a neighbour recommended me this garage. I was a little bit reluctant as I have a Yaris compared to the classy cars they service and thought they would charge me a fortune to service my car. What an amazing service they provided and they even gave my car a wash, who does that these days? I only needed new oil and filters, even my old garage would charge me a lot more. I highly recommend this team of professionals and for the great service they provide. I’m certainly coming back here again.read more

I’ve been taking my car to Vaucluse Auto Repairs for 4 years and I have only had amazing experiences with them. The quality of work is great, they are transparent with pricing and always willing to go out of their way to source second hand parts to keep cost lower too, if needed. The service is outstanding. I was given a free loan car for the weekend while my car was getting repaired. The owner of the business Michael is very friendly, helpful and honest. The only mechanic in Sydney I trust not to try to rip people off.read more

I took my old classic Aston Martin to get serviced and I found Michael to be very experienced with classic cars. He knew everything there was to know about cars and we had a lovely chat about them. He went out of his way to make my life easier and even bought me a coffee from across the road. I collected my car a few days later and it's working like a gem once again. I would highly recommend Michael and his team to look after any classic cars. Thanks once again mate.read more

I cannot tell how much I love this garage. They have been looking after my Porsche for almost three years now, including my kids cars. They are always straight to the point, never anything extra added, they would always give me a few options if anything major needs to be done. I have always found the owner Michael to be extremely courteous, he treats everyone the same, he has an amazing generosity to the people around him and I love seeing business owners roll up there sleeves and get dirty. I would highly recommend his team of mechanic's for any job.read more

This is the second time I have had my car serviced by Michael and his team and once again I am very pleased with the service. Not only did I feel I can trust what Michael advises, he is considerably cheaper and more professional that the dealership service centres. Yes BMW Sydney, I'm talking about you.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! I had put my car on the market and someone sold it quicker than I had imagined (lucky!) but I needed to service it before handover. I called Michael and he moved heaven and earth to get it done for me so that the sale could go ahead. Wonderful job too. Thank you for everything!!read more
