Steering and suspension systems are responsible for how your car handles, responds, and stays stable on the road. When components wear or fail, the effects are immediate: vague steering, clunking noises over bumps, or the car pulling to one side.
The "Old Way" involves driving an unstable vehicle to a garage and leaving it there for days. Maxamy Mobile Autocare offers the "Smart Way." We provide professional steering and suspension repairs at your home or workplace.
We use correct-specification parts and proper diagnostic procedures to fix the issue on-site. We restore your vehicle's stability and comfort without the inconvenience of a traditional garage visit.
Even slight wear in these systems can compromise control and pose safety hazards. Promptly addressing these issues can prevent further damage and ensure your vehicle operates efficiently. Watch for these warning signs:
Knocking or Clunking Noises: Loud noises when driving over bumps or uneven road surfaces, often indicating worn bushes, ball joints, or broken springs.
Vague or Loose Steering: The steering wheel feels disconnected or "light," making it difficult to keep the car in a straight line.
Pulling to One Side: The vehicle drifts left or right on a straight road, forcing you to constantly correct the steering.
Uneven Tyre Wear: The inside or outside edges of your tyres are wearing down faster than the centre, a classic sign of alignment or suspension faults.
Humming or Rumbling: A droning noise that gets louder with speed, usually indicating a failing wheel bearing.
Bouncy Ride: The car continues to bounce after hitting a bump, suggesting worn shock absorbers.
Creaking When Turning: A creaking or groaning sound when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.
We offer a comprehensive range of steering and suspension repairs to ensure your vehicle maintains optimal performance and safety.
Power steering faults can make a car feel incredibly heavy to drive and reduce control at low speeds. We carry out power steering repairs to address faults that cause heavy steering, abnormal noises, or fluid leaks. We also perform power steering fluid changes to restore correct hydraulic performance and protect key components from premature wear. Where required, we provide power steering fluid reservoir replacement if the unit is cracked, leaking, or contaminated.

Wear in these components can cause steering play, wandering, knocking over bumps, and uneven tyre wear. Replacing them helps restore steering precision and improves overall road stability.

We carry out ball joint replacement when wear causes knocking, instability, or excessive movement in the suspension. We also provide suspension lower arm replacement when bushings or mounting points degrade, helping restore correct suspension geometry and predictable handling.

We perform coil spring replacement to correct broken or sagging springs that cause uneven stance, clunking noises, or poor ride quality. We also carry out shock absorber replacement to reduce excessive bouncing, improve road holding, and ensure the tyres maintain consistent contact with the road surface.

We carry out wheel bearing replacement when bearings begin to fail and cause rumbling noises, vibration through the vehicle, or a rough feeling while driving. Replacing a worn bearing restores smooth rotation and helps prevent further damage to the hub assembly.

We inspect before we replace. We ensure the noise is coming from the ball joint, not the bushing, so you don't pay for unnecessary parts.

Steering and suspension repairs cover key components that affect vehicle control, stability, and ride comfort. This includes power steering repair, power steering fluid changes, power steering fluid reservoir replacement, track rod end replacement, ball joint replacement, suspension lower arm replacement, coil spring replacement, shock absorber replacement, and wheel bearing replacement.
Common symptoms include knocking noises over bumps, uneven tyre wear, steering that feels loose or heavy, vibration through the steering wheel, pulling to one side, poor stability at speed, excessive bouncing, or a sagging corner of the vehicle. These faults often worsen over time and should be checked promptly.
Heavy steering or whining noises can be caused by power steering faults, low or degraded fluid, or issues within the power steering system. A power steering fluid change or system repair can restore correct operation and reduce strain on components.
Yes. Track rod ends play a critical role in steering accuracy and wheel direction control. If worn, they can cause steering play and contribute to uneven tyre wear, especially on the front tyres. Replacing track rod ends helps restore steering precision and stability.
Worn ball joints or suspension lower arms can cause knocking noises, instability, vague steering feel, and uneven tyre wear. These components affect suspension geometry and wheel positioning, so replacement helps restore predictable handling and safer road behaviour.
Coil springs should be replaced if they are broken, sagging, or causing an uneven stance. Shock absorbers are typically replaced when the vehicle feels excessively bouncy, unstable under braking, or lacks control over bumps. Replacing springs and dampers restores ride height, comfort, and stability.
A failing wheel bearing commonly causes a humming, rumbling, or grinding noise that changes with road speed. It may also create vibration through the vehicle or steering wheel. Wheel bearing replacement restores smooth wheel rotation and helps prevent further damage.
Yes. Steering and suspension repairs are provided as a mobile service where possible and can be carried out at your home or workplace. This includes many power steering, track rod end, ball joint, lower arm, spring, shock absorber, and wheel bearing repairs, depending on access and vehicle condition.
