What We Do
- Control arm, sway bar, trailing arm, and subframe bushing replacement
- Diff and crossmember bushings, plus related hardware if required
- Rubber or performance options—matched to how you drive and what you prefer
Our Process:
-
1. Check-in & road test (if needed): We start with a quick chat about symptoms, then a short drive to feel any clunks, vibration, or steering wander you’re noticing.
-
2. Lift & inspect: With the car up, we check for split or perished rubber, excessive play with a lever test, and any fluid leaks from hydraulic bushings. We also look at associated components (ball joints, tie-rods) that can mimic bushing issues.
-
3. Approximate estimate & timing: You’ll get a estimate price, parts choice, and a realistic timeframe. No work starts until you give the go-ahead.
-
4. Precision replacement: Arms are supported properly to avoid stressing joints. Old bushings are pressed out; new ones are pressed in square and to spec. Orientation marks are aligned, sleeves lubed where required, and new hardware used where recommended.
-
5. Torque at ride height: Critical fasteners are torqued with the suspension loaded at normal ride height to prevent premature wear and squeaks.
-
6. Related checks: If needed, we’ll recommend a wheel alignment and balance (especially after control-arm work) and note any tyre/brake issues spotted.
-
7. Quality control & test drive: We road test for noise, tracking, and braking feel, then recheck fasteners. On request, we keep the old parts for you to inspect.
