Suspension Repair in Hervey Bay
Many motorists think the suspension system’s sole purpose is to provide a smooth, comfortable ride on all road surfaces (even uneven, bumpy roads) but it serves a much more important purpose than that. The most important job your car’s suspension system provides is to keep all four wheels in constant contact with the road surface to ensure the effectiveness of its other important systems–the braking, driving and steering systems.
This complex system is comprised of numerous components, including the shock absorbers, springs, steering arms, linkages, tyres and wheels—all of which must operate efficiently if the entire system is to operate as it should.
At HBBE Automotive—Hervey Bay’s suspension specialists—we provide a full range of automotive suspension services for 4x4s, utes and cars. We’re here to ensure your vehicle’s safety triangle—stopping, steering and stability—delivers maximum efficiency.

Importance of Suspension Repair
Your suspension system is one of the key players in keeping you safe on the road. As well as absorbing all those bumps and bounces that are part of even the simplest journey, your suspension system is crucial for helping you keep control of your vehicle.
It’s essential to pay attention to your car’s suspension; otherwise, you put yourself and other road users at risk. In addition to influencing how well your car handles those pesky potholes, your suspension system affects the steering and handling of your car. To keep everyone safe, make sure you know the signs that show your suspension system may need attention.
Suspension Systems
By their nature, suspension systems are robust and most will last for many years before needing significant repairs—especially with proper maintenance. As well as general wear and tear, suspension systems can be damaged by travelling over big potholes or hitting kerbs. Damage is also a consequence of off-roading. Any damage to your suspension system will compromise your control.

The following signs indicate your suspension system requires repairs.
- Poor handling
- Clanks or bangs when you’re driving on a bumpy road
