Steering & Suspension in Wollongong

Signs of suspension problems include unusual noises over bumps, the car pulling to one side, excessive bouncing, uneven tyre wear, or a steering wheel that feels loose. ATD Automotive recommends getting these checked promptly, as unresolved suspension issues reduce both safety and comfort on the road.

Suspension should be inspected at least once a year, or sooner if you notice a change in handling. ATD Automotive checks shocks, bushings and steering components during scheduled services, catching wear early before it causes bigger problems or compromises safety.

Steering and suspension maintenance is important because these systems directly affect stability, braking distance and tyre wear. ATD Automotive ensures your car handles as the manufacturer intended, keeping passengers safe, reducing long-term repair costs and making every drive smoother.

Yes, worn suspension components like shocks and struts can cause uneven or accelerated tyre wear and reduce fuel efficiency by affecting how evenly your tyres grip the road. ATD Automotive identifies these issues during suspension inspections, helping you avoid the extra cost of premature tyre replacement.

Steering problems typically affect how the car responds when you turn the wheel, such as looseness, vibration or difficulty turning, while suspension problems affect ride comfort and stability, like bouncing or pulling to one side. Because the two systems work closely together, ATD Automotive inspects both when diagnosing handling issues to pinpoint the exact cause.
