Your Local Suspension Specialists in Northern Beaches
At Auramotive Mechanical, we provide trusted suspension services across the Northern Beaches for a wide range of vehicles. Based in Brookvale, our fully qualified mechanics are equipped to assess, repair, and maintain suspension systems on everything from passenger vehicles to trucks, buses, and heavy machinery.
Our team of suspension specialists is committed to delivering a high standard of service, ensuring every vehicle we inspect meets safety, performance, and comfort expectations. Whether you’re experiencing uneven tyre wear, poor handling, or vehicle instability, we offer reliable diagnostics and tailored repairs that restore ride quality. We understand the importance of maintaining suspension integrity not only for vehicle control but also for occupant safety and tyre longevity.
Our Suspension Repair Services
We provide a wide range of suspension services designed to suit both heavy-duty diesel vehicles and standard road cars. From minor adjustments to complete system repairs, we use proven methods and quality components to deliver dependable results. Our workshop is set up to accommodate vehicles of various sizes and configurations, allowing us to efficiently complete suspension work on individual cars as well as fleet vehicles.
Suspension Service for Heavy Diesel Vehicles
Our workshop is equipped to manage the suspension systems of trucks, buses, chippers, plant machines, and trailers. We perform full inspections of springs, dampers, sway bars, and bushings to identify and correct signs of wear. Suspension performance in heavy vehicles is critical for both load-bearing and road safety.
We ensure each repair complies with vehicle manufacturer specifications and relevant industry standards for commercial and industrial use. We also offer scheduled preventative suspension checks as part of our broader heavy diesel maintenance programs, reducing the risk of on-road failures or uneven load handling.
Suspension Repair for Cars
Passenger vehicles benefit greatly from suspension systems that are well-tuned and maintained. We offer targeted repairs for components, including struts, control arms, and anti-roll bars, to maintain smooth handling and braking stability.
Whether you’re dealing with knocking noises, misaligned wheels, or a rough ride, our car suspension repair services provide prompt and effective solutions. For vehicles used in urban settings, off-road conditions, or long-distance travel, a well-functioning suspension system significantly improves driving comfort and vehicle control.
Shock Absorbers
Worn or leaking shock absorbers can affect braking distance and road control. We inspect each shock for signs of damage and wear, and replace them using parts that match the vehicle’s design and intended usage. In some cases, uneven tyre wear and nosediving during braking may indicate failing shock absorbers that need urgent attention.
Springs
We service coil and leaf springs to maintain appropriate ride height and load distribution. Our team identifies any sagging or corrosion that could compromise vehicle safety. Spring issues can lead to imbalanced handling and excess strain on other suspension components, which we help prevent through thorough inspections and timely replacements.
Fluid and Leaks
Hydraulic leaks from struts or suspension cylinders can lead to underperformance and long-term system degradation. We diagnose and address leaks before they escalate, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. We also flush and replace worn suspension fluids as part of maintenance procedures, ensuring consistent damping response.
Complete Suspension System Inspections
Our suspension inspections are thorough, combining manual checks with diagnostic testing to provide an accurate picture of system health. These inspections are critical in detecting early signs of wear that may not yet affect handling but could soon lead to costly repairs if ignored.
Visual Inspection
We assess visible wear or misalignment across all suspension components, checking for rust, movement, or damage. These checks are often the first indication of component fatigue or poor alignment that could affect safety and performance.
Component Testing
This includes testing ball joints, mounts, bushings, and linkages for functionality and responsiveness. We use mechanical testing tools to confirm wear limits. Any looseness or play in these areas is flagged for replacement to prevent further suspension strain.
Load Testing
We simulate weight-bearing conditions to test suspension response, confirming that spring and damper setups are correctly calibrated to the vehicle’s requirements. Load testing helps determine if the suspension can handle operational stress without excessive compression or instability.

FAQs About Suspension Repair Services
Suspension issues often result from wear over time, pothole impact, heavy loads, or lack of maintenance. Rust, fluid leaks, and worn joints can also lead to a decline in performance. Environmental exposure and driving conditions significantly influence how quickly suspension parts degrade.
Neglecting early warning signs can result in accelerated tyre wear, misalignment, and eventual steering system damage. Regular checks help catch these issues early.
Symptoms include uneven tyre wear, knocking noises when driving over bumps, excessive body roll, or poor steering response. A noticeable change in ride comfort or handling may also suggest suspension issues.
Other signs include swaying while cornering, delayed braking response, and vibrations felt through the steering wheel. If any of these are present, a suspension check is recommended.
We recommend having your suspension system checked every 20,000 kilometres or at least once a year, especially if you frequently drive on uneven surfaces or carry heavy loads.
You should also have it inspected before long trips or if you notice any handling changes. Early checks can help prevent further damage to tyres, axles, and frame components.
