Suspension Alignment and Repairs

Suspension Problems Affect More Than Just Comfort

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.

  • Nose-diving under brakes
  • Vehicle leans or drifts around corners

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.
