Hervey Bay Suspension
If your drive’s starting to feel rough, bouncy, or unpredictable, your suspension system could be the culprit. Worn shocks, struts or bushings can impact steering, braking, and tyre wear — not to mention how comfortable and safe your vehicle feels on the road.
At Wayne’s Mechanical World in Hervey Bay, we carry out detailed suspension inspections and repairs across all vehicle makes and models. With more than 65 years of combined experience, our team knows what to look for and how to fix it properly — whether it’s sagging coils, leaking struts or uneven handling. We use quality parts and a methodical approach to ensure every repair restores performance, comfort and safety.
If your vehicle’s ride feels off, don’t wait for it to get worse. Call (07) 4124 3916 to book a suspension check with a qualified mechanic today.
The Key To A Smoother Ride
Suspension repairs go well beyond replacing worn shock absorbers. A proper service involves checking components like springs, struts, sway bars, control arms, and linkages — all of which contribute to handling, cornering and vehicle stability.
Signs you might need a suspension check include clunking noises, uneven tyre wear, poor cornering grip, and a ‘floaty’ feeling while driving. We’ll carry out a full inspection, identify any wear or imbalance, and replace parts as needed using components suited to your vehicle. Suspension issues don’t just affect comfort — they directly impact safety, especially during braking or evasive manoeuvres. If you drive long distances, carry heavy loads or tow, your suspension needs extra attention.
Book in your suspension service today by calling (07) 4124 3916 — we’ll get your vehicle handling like it should.
Can worn suspension parts damage other components in my car?
Yes — worn suspension doesn’t just affect comfort; it can lead to additional wear on tyres, steering components and even your braking system. For example, failing struts or shocks can cause uneven tyre contact with the road, leading to premature tyre wear or poor braking response. Over time, loose or degraded suspension parts can also increase stress on wheel bearings and steering joints. Addressing suspension problems early helps avoid costly knock-on damage elsewhere in the vehicle.
My suspension feels fine — do I still need it checked regularly?
Even if there are no obvious symptoms, suspension wear often develops slowly and can go unnoticed until it becomes a safety issue. Components like bushings, joints and mounts degrade over time from road conditions, load stress and weather exposure. Regular checks (especially during routine services) can detect wear before it leads to handling problems or uneven tyre wear. If you frequently drive on rough roads, tow, or carry loads, it’s smart to include suspension checks in your maintenance routine.
Is suspension tuning different to suspension repairs?
Yes — they serve different purposes. Suspension repairs focus on restoring the system to safe, factory-standard performance by replacing worn or damaged parts. Suspension tuning, on the other hand, is about adjusting or upgrading the setup to suit specific handling needs — like off-roading, performance driving or load-carrying. Unless your vehicle is being modified for a specialised purpose, most drivers benefit from a well-maintained stock suspension. If comfort, control or safety is compromised, repairs come first before considering any tuning options.
