When working correctly, the power steering system is quite remarkable, allowing pretty much anyone to handle an enormous steel machine as it zooms along at high speeds or navigates around tight corners.

As such, when you have a power steering problem you'll probably notice the difference.

Symptoms include sluggish steering response, leaking hydraulic fluid under the vehicle and difficulty turning the steering wheel.

Power Steering Service in Craigieburn

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.

Find your car rocking and rolling when you corner? Not braking the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon fix all your braking issues.

Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

You can trust your family's safety to a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a common check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, just as it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre wear and tyre drag which can increase fuel consumption.

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you a detailed and accurate printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Active Motor Repairs to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.
