Suspension and Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vans and utes are particularly susceptible to suspension wear due to the loads they carry and the conditions they operate in. A fully loaded van places significantly more stress on suspension components than a lightly loaded passenger car. Regular suspension inspections are an important part of any fleet maintenance program.

Worn suspension also accelerates tyre wear, which adds to operating costs. Addressing suspension issues promptly protects your tyre investment and keeps your vehicle safe.

Suspension and Roadworthy Certificates

Suspension and steering condition is assessed as part of every roadworthy certificate inspection. If your vehicle has failed a roadworthy due to suspension or steering issues, we can carry out the required repairs and re-inspect on the same visit.

Pre-Purchase Suspension Inspections

If you’re considering buying a used commercial vehicle, a pre-purchase inspection that includes a thorough suspension assessment can save you from an expensive surprise. We check all suspension and steering components and provide a written report on their condition.
