Suspension Specialists in Port Macquarie

Automotive Shock Absorbers and Springs Installed in Cars — We Fit Shock Absorbers in Port Macquarie, NSW

Drive with Peace of Mind

Worn shock absorbers are a safety hazard—did you know that just one worn shock absorber means your car could travel 2.6 metres before stopping to a halt? Other symptoms of unsafe shock absorbers or suspension is ‘bouncing’ when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces, poor handling and rolling when driving around corners.

Your safety is our priority—A1 Exhaust & Mechanical is able to offer a $28 steering and suspension check, giving you greater peace of mind. The suspension and steering check gives a report of what needs to be replaced and/or fixed.

We also proudly install Pedders shock absorbers and suspension—the mark of true quality automotive suspension.

If you just want greater peace of mind, book a steering inspection in Port Macquarie on (02) 6581 0691.

In addition to your vehicle's suspension providing a smooth, comfortable ride, its main role is to ensure all four tyres remain in contact with the road, so that when needed, your brakes, steering and traction systems are instantly responsive and operate safely when you need them most.

For effective stopping, steering and on-road stability, your brakes, tyres and shock absorbers need to work together.
