Suspension Repair & Replacement in Marrickville
Your vehicle’s suspension does far more than smooth out bumps — it keeps tyres planted, improves braking stability and maintains safe steering control. At DG Auto in Marrickville, we diagnose knocks, clunks, uneven tyre wear, vibration and pulling, then repair or replace the components required to restore a stable, comfortable and safe ride. Our technicians follow manufacturer guidance, use quality parts and provide clear, upfront pricing.
What’s Included in Our Suspension Inspection
We begin with a road test and a thorough under-vehicle inspection to pinpoint the true source of any noise, drift or instability. You’ll receive a clear explanation of the findings and options before work begins.
- Road test to reproduce symptoms (noise, vibration, pulling, knocking)
- Full underbody inspection for leaks, damage and excessive play
- Shock absorber/strut check (leaks, damping performance, rebound)
- Strut top mounts and bearings assessment
- Springs (coil/leaf) condition and ride-height check
- Control arms and ball joints for wear, cracks or binding
- Suspension bushes (rubber) for deterioration, tears and movement
- Sway bar links and bushes, stabiliser mounts
- Steering tie-rod ends and rack ends play check
- Wheel bearing play/noise assessment
- Tyre wear pattern and pressure review, basic alignment check
- Torque check of critical fasteners after repair
- Post-repair road test and final report
Note: Where major components are replaced, we recommend a wheel alignment to protect tyres and ensure straight-line stability.

Suspension FAQs
Do I need a wheel alignment after suspension work?
Yes, an alignment is recommended after control arm, tie-rod, shock/strut or spring replacement. It protects tyres and ensures the car tracks straight.
How long does shock or strut replacement take?
Typically 2–4 hours per axle depending on the vehicle and whether top mounts, bearings or additional components are due at the same time.
Can worn bushes or ball joints fail a safety inspection?
Excessively worn suspension components can be a safety issue and may affect registration inspections. If we find anything borderline, we’ll show you and explain options.
What causes uneven tyre wear?
Misalignment, worn shocks/struts, tired bushes or loose steering components. We’ll identify the root cause so you don’t ruin new tyres prematurely.
How much does suspension repair cost?
Costs vary by make/model and the parts required. We’ll provide a clear, itemised quote before any work begins.
