Your suspension does three things at once. It absorbs impacts from the road so the cabin stays comfortable. It keeps the tyres in contact with the road surface under braking and in corners. It holds the steering geometry within the correct angles for straight, predictable handling. When components wear, all three of those functions are compromised at the same time. At KITH Cars Garage in Hackbridge, suspension and steering repairs are carried out at the medium rate of £72 per hour.

Shock absorbers are the most misunderstood wear item on most vehicles. A working damper controls how quickly the spring compresses and rebounds. A worn one lets the spring bounce freely. The bounce you feel over every pothole, the way the car wallows in corners, the extra stopping distance under hard braking. These are all symptoms of dampers that have lost their ability to control movement. We replace them in pairs on the same axle because fitting one new damper opposite a worn one creates uneven handling.
