At Riverland Auto Repairs, professionalism, reliability, and excellent customer service come as standard, ensuring your vehicle gets the care it deserves.

When it comes to the smoothness of your ride and the overall safety of your vehicle, the suspension system plays a pivotal role. It's responsible for minimising the impact of various road surfaces and ensuring that the wheels remain in contact with the road, providing you with better control. 

If you're in Barmera or surrounding suburbs like Berri, Loveday, Cobdogla, Renmark and notice your car isn’t driving as smoothly as it should, or if you hear unusual noises when going over bumps, it might be time to have your suspension checked. 

At Riverland Auto Repairs, we specialise in inspecting and repairing all components of your suspension system, including struts, shock absorbers, ball joints, control arms, and springs.

Struts: Struts are a structural part of the suspension system, integrating coil springs with a shock absorber. Struts are essential for absorbing impacts from road irregularities, contributing to a smooth ride. Over time, struts can become worn or damaged, leading to a decrease in ride quality, uneven tyre wear, and reduced braking efficiency. 

Shock Absorbers: Shock absorbers help control the impact and rebound movement of your vehicle's springs and suspension, ensuring the tyres stay in contact with the road. Worn shock absorbers can lead to increased stopping distances, swaying during turns, and a general decline in ride comfort and vehicle stability.

Ball Joints: Ball joints act as pivot points between the wheel hubs and suspension and are critical for smooth steering. Wear and tear over time can result in looseness in the steering, clunking noises, and uneven tyre wear. Severe wear could potentially lead to the ball joint breaking, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.

Control Arms: These components link the suspension system to the chassis and manage the motion of the wheels so that it's in harmony with the body of the car. Bushings and ball joints are part of this assembly and can wear out or fail, leading to reduced handling and vehicle stability, accompanied by noises such as banging or clunking when driving over bumps.

Springs: Springs support the weight of your vehicle, absorb bumps on the road, and help maintain vehicle height and proper wheel alignment. Over time, springs can weaken or break, leading to a sagging appearance, a rough ride, or the car leaning to one side.
