If your car feels like it’s pulling to one side, bouncing over bumps or just not handling the way it used to, it could be time to check your steering and suspension. At Switch Gear Automotive in Riverstone, we diagnose and fix issues that impact your vehicle’s control, comfort and safety.
These systems work together to keep your car stable and predictable—especially when cornering, braking or driving on rough roads. Our experienced mechanics will inspect all key components—from shock absorbers to tie rods and bushings—to find the root of the issue and get your ride back in shape.

More Control, Less Bounce
Your suspension system does more than just smooth out bumps—it keeps your tyres firmly in contact with the road, improving traction, braking and overall handling. Meanwhile, your steering system gives you precise control over where your vehicle goes.
When either system starts to wear, you might notice vague steering, uneven tyre wear or a drifting sensation at high speeds. These aren’t just annoyances—they’re safety issues.
Our team is equipped to handle everything from wheel alignments and power steering fluid flushes to strut replacements and steering rack repairs. We work on all makes and models, including light commercial vehicles and we’re committed to fixing the issue right the first time.

If your vehicle doesn’t handle like it used to, don’t ignore the signs. Contact Switch Gear Automotive and get back in control.
What are the symptoms of a bad suspension system?
Common symptoms include excessive bouncing, uneven tyre wear, knocking noises over bumps, poor handling or a drifting feeling when turning. You might also notice your car dipping forward when braking or leaning during turns. These signs indicate worn shocks, bushings or other suspension components that should be checked and replaced to maintain ride comfort and safety.
How often should I get my suspension checked?
It’s recommended to have your suspension inspected every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometres or during regular servicing. However, if you frequently drive on rough roads, tow heavy loads or notice unusual handling, it’s worth getting it looked at sooner. Catching suspension issues early can prevent further damage and extend the life of other components like tyres and brakes.
Why is my steering wheel shaking or pulling?
A shaking or pulling steering wheel can result from several issues, including unbalanced wheels, misaligned suspension, worn tie rods or damaged steering components. It can also be caused by uneven tyre pressure or worn tyres. A qualified mechanic can identify the root cause and correct the issue with proper diagnostics and repairs.
