A local customer brought their vehicle into Duffy's Automotive Tamworth complaining of unusual noises from the front end, a rough ride quality, and noticeable instability when cornering. They reported the vehicle felt “looser” than usual, especially over bumps and uneven surfaces.
Inspection & Findings
During our suspension inspection, our technicians found that the rubber bushings in the suspension arms were severely worn and degraded. The bushings showed cracking and excessive movement, which can lead to poor handling, noise, and uneven tyre wear.
Recommended Repair
We advised replacing the affected suspension arms to restore proper suspension function and vehicle safety. The customer approved the repair.
Work Completed
- Removed worn suspension arms
- Installed new suspension arms with quality replacement bushings
- Checked related suspension components
- Completed a wheel alignment to manufacturer specifications
After repairs, the vehicle’s handling and ride quality were significantly improved, and suspension noises were eliminated. The customer was pleased with the smoother, more stable driving experience.
Why It Matters
Worn suspension bushings can negatively affect safety, comfort, and tyre life. Regular inspections help catch these issues early.
