If your ride feels rough, unsteady, or you notice uneven tyre wear, your suspension may be out of alignment or worn.
This is because your suspension system does more than just absorb bumps. it keeps your tyres firmly on the road and your vehicle stable under braking, cornering, and acceleration.
At JAF Autos, we diagnose and correct suspension issues in cars, motorbikes, utes and light commercial vehicles, helping you drive safer and more comfortably. Whether it’s worn shocks or misaligned suspension geometry, we’ll pinpoint the issue and fix it right.
A misaligned or worn suspension affects your steering, tyre wear, and handling — especially at higher speeds or under load. Our technicians are trained to assess both the mechanical and alignment aspects of your suspension system.
We work with both standard and lowered vehicles, and can advise on suspension setups for road, touring or light commercial use.
Watch for these symptoms:
Excessive bouncing after bumps
Uneven tyre wear or scalloping
Nose-diving under brakes
Vehicle leans or drifts around corners
Clunking noises when going over speed humps
Rough ride or poor comfort
Steering instability, especially at speed
If any of these sound familiar, book a suspension inspection today. We’ll give you a clear, honest report and walk you through your options.
Signs of Suspension Misalignment or Wear
