Ensuring your car's safety and roadworthiness is paramount to the well-being of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians on the road. 

The "safety triangle" comprises the stopping, steering, and stability capabilities of a vehicle, which depend heavily on the suspension and shock absorbers. These essential components are not just designed to provide a smooth ride; they play a crucial role in maintaining the proper operation of the safety triangle. Regular servicing and maintenance can prevent potential issues, but if you observe anything amiss, do not hesitate to contact Active Motor Repairs immediately.

Some of the critical parts of your suspension and shock absorber system include the springs, shock absorbers, struts, and anti-sway bar. Springs are designed to absorb energy and come in different types such as leaf, coil, torsion bar, or air-assisted springs.

 Luxury cars often have soft springs for a smoother ride, resulting in more body movement when braking and cornering. In contrast, sports cars have tighter springs, allowing for more aggressive driving but with a less smooth ride. 

Shock absorbers dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. Without shock absorbers, the springs would cause the vehicle to bounce up and down over bumps. Struts are shock absorbers mounted inside a coil spring that perform the functions of both the springs and shock absorbers while also providing additional structural support for the suspension system.

Lastly, the anti-sway bar spans the width of the axle, connecting the two sides of the suspension to stabilise the car when moving.

Sticking to your regular Log Book servicing schedule is vital in maintaining all aspects of your vehicle's proper functioning. 

If you notice any of the following symptoms, get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible to avoid potential risks: steering wheel vibration or pulsing, nose diving and swerving, car veers in side winds, car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering, uneven tire wear, rattling noise, clunking over bumps, bouncing, dipping, and diving.

At Active Motor Repairs, our suspension and shock absorber services encompass inspection, diagnosis, repairs, and replacements to ensure your vehicle is fixed and back on the road in no time.

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel.

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

Here's a bit more info about EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI:

We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret.

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem.

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly

Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere!

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds.

If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'
