Worn steering, suspension and drive line components can cause noise, vibration, premature tyre wear and misalignment.

Shocks & Struts replacement

Weak shocks may cause an uncomfortable ride and poor handling in addition to changes in vehicle ride height. This may lead to increased wear on other suspension components - including Tyres
, ball joints and springs.

Shocks and struts do wear out and should be checked regular just to be safe. At Five Star Automotive we a provide quality shocks and struts replacement service at an affordable price.

Warning Signs

Due to the fact that shocks and struts wear out slowly over an extended period of time, it often is not obvious that the performance of the shocks and struts have diminished. Worn shocks or struts may allow the following:

• Excessive tire bounce
• Poor tyre-to-road contact
• Reduced suspension control
• Premature tyre wear and increased wear on other suspension components
• Reduced handling and braking performance
• Noise and suspension vibration
