How do I know if there is a problem with my suspension?

If your car is driving erratically down the road or you can hear a banging, clanging, knocking or rattling sound then it is probably time to get your car looked at by a professional mechanic. The problem could be coming from a number of places including the suspension, shock absorbers, wheel alignment or steering, so if you bring the car to Sunshine Steering, we can check it, inspect it and provide you with a quote for the repair.

When you bring your car in for a suspension service, we’ll take a look at:

  • The ball joints
  • Steering racks
  • Shock absorbers
  • Spring hooks
  • Pushes
  • And any other component of the vehicle that could be the source of your problems.

How do I know if there is something wrong with my power steering?

If you’ve noticed that your car is starting to make strange noises whenever you turn the steering wheel then it is probably time to book it in for a power steering service or check-up. A whining or moaning noise could indicate that there is something going on down below that needs to be fixed and the longer you leave it the worse it will get.

Your power steering system consists of several components including power-steering fluid, power steering pump and a rack. Getting your fluid flushed and replaced on a regular basis is highly recommended to help extend the life of the more expensive parts of this system – if you can’t remember the last time your power steering fluid was flushed out and replaced then give us a call today on (07) 5478 8020 to book your car in.

Diagnostics Scanning

When the red engine light on your dashboard turns on, that means it is time to bring your car in for a diagnostics test. We have two machines in-house that are capable of scanning your car’s computer and establishing the area of your engine that requires attention.

We charge a fixed price for a diagnostic scan – this helps us determine what the problem is without having to pull the whole car apart. Once we know what needs to be repaired or replaced, we will give you an estimate for the job. We will always make sure that we have your approval on the quote before moving forward to ensure that you don’t get hit with any unexpected bills.
