Your car’s suspension system plays a critical role in ensuring a safe, smooth, and comfortable driving experience. From navigating bumpy roads to maintaining control while turning corners, the suspension system connects your vehicle’s wheels to its body and keeps everything running smoothly. Yet, it’s one of those systems that often goes unnoticed until something goes wrong. At Weston Smash & Service Centre in Weston, we understand the complexities of suspension systems and specialise in ensuring they remain in top condition. Whether it’s a simple inspection or a complete repair, our experienced team is here to keep your car performing at its best. Components of a Suspension System A vehicle’s suspension system consists of several critical components that work together to provide stability, control, and comfort. Here’s a breakdown of the main parts and their roles: Springs: These absorb shocks from uneven road surfaces, helping the vehicle maintain a consistent ride height. Common types include coil springs, leaf springs, and torsion bars. Shock Absorbers (or Dampers): These control the bounce caused by springs, ensuring your car doesn’t continue to bob up and down after hitting a bump. Struts: These combine the functionality of shock absorbers and springs into one component, providing structural support to the suspension system. Control Arms: These connect the suspension to the vehicle’s frame, allowing the wheels to move up and down while maintaining alignment. Bushings: Made of rubber or polyurethane, bushings act as cushions between metal parts, reducing vibrations and noise. Ball Joints: These pivot points connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, enabling smooth wheel movement. Stabiliser Bar (or Sway Bar): This component reduces body roll when turning corners, keeping the car stable and balanced. Tie Rods: These connect the steering system to the wheels, allowing for precise control and maneuverability. Each of these components is essential, and even a minor issue with one part can significantly impact your vehicle’s safety and performance. How Suspension Components Wear and Fail Suspension components are subject to constant stress and wear due to the demands of everyday driving, rough road conditions, and even natural ageing. Over time, these parts can deteriorate or fail entirely, leading to a range of problems. Springs can lose tension or break, especially if the vehicle regularly carries heavy loads. A sagging or uneven ride height is often a sign of failing springs. Shock Absorbers and Struts can wear out and lose their ability to dampen vibrations effectively. You might notice excessive bouncing, poor handling, or a rougher ride. Bushings tend to crack, harden, or disintegrate over time, leading to increased vibrations, clunking noises, and reduced steering responsiveness. Ball Joints and Tie Rods are prone to wear due to constant movement and exposure to dirt and debris. Worn ball joints can cause uneven tyre wear and steering instability, while damaged tie rods can result in poor alignment and difficulty steering. Control Arms and Stabiliser Bars can bend or break under extreme conditions, affecting your vehicle’s handling and stability. Regular inspections by a trusted professional, such as the team at Weston Smash & Service Centre, can identify these issues early and prevent further damage. Damage from Vehicle Accidents and Importance of Repairs A vehicle accident, even a minor one, can wreak havoc on your suspension system. Collisions can bend or break suspension components, throw your wheels out of alignment, and even compromise the structural integrity of the system. Common signs of suspension damage after an accident include: Pulling to one side while driving. Unusual noises, such as clunking or creaking. Uneven tyre wear or rapid tyre deterioration. Difficulty steering or a feeling of looseness in the wheel. A noticeable change in ride comfort or stability. Driving with a damaged suspension system can have a domino effect on other crucial systems in your vehicle. For instance, poor suspension performance can reduce the effectiveness of your brakes, make steering more challenging, and lead to uneven tyre wear. These issues not only compromise your safety but can also result in costly repairs if left unaddressed.

Ensuring brake maintenance is a crucial responsibility for car owners to keep their families safe. Prompt and routine inspections of the brake system must not be delayed until they become imperative. Recognising symptoms of brake failure, such as unusual noises, reduced responsiveness, or a spongy brake pedal, can help prevent dangerous situations. Long-distance travel without a thorough brake inspection can be hazardous. The risk of brake failure increases with prolonged journeys, especially if your vehicle hasn't been properly checked beforehand. Towing caravans and trailers places additional strain on your vehicle's braking system, necessitating more frequent inspections and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
