Your suspension does more than cushion potholes — it’s critical to your braking distance, cornering stability, and tyre life. Worn shocks and struts increase stopping distances and make emergency manoeuvres risky. At LBM, we diagnose and repair the root cause — whether it’s worn shocks, damaged springs, or tired bushes — using quality components built for Australian roads. No guesswork, no shortcuts, just safe, predictable handling.
Restore control and confidence. Worn suspension increases stopping distances by up to 20%. We bring your braking and cornering stability back to manufacturer specs.
We use premium shocks, struts, and suspension hardware from trusted brands — built to handle the rough roads of Melbourne's West without the dealership price tag.
We don't just swap parts. Every service includes a complete check of shocks, springs, control arms, bushes, and ball joints to catch issues before they become costly failures.
Every suspension repair includes a precision wheel alignment. This prevents uneven tyre wear and ensures your new components perform exactly as designed.
Find quick answers to the most common questions about suspension repairs — what’s involved, warning signs to watch for, and why driving on worn suspension isn’t worth the risk.
Depending on your vehicle's condition, service may include replacing shock absorbers, struts, coil springs, control arms, bushes, or ball joints. We also include a complimentary wheel alignment after any suspension work to ensure even tyre wear and correct geometry.
Watch for a bouncy or uncomfortable ride, nose-diving when braking, uneven or rapid tyre wear, drifting through corners, or knocking/clunking noises over bumps. If your car feels unstable or wanders on the highway, it's time for an inspection.
No — it's a safety risk. Damaged suspension reduces braking efficiency, increases stopping distances, and can cause loss of control in emergency swerves. For the safety of you, your passengers, and other road users, get it checked immediately if you notice symptoms.
Most standard shock or strut replacements take 2–4 hours. More complex jobs involving multiple components, steering racks, or rusted bolts may require a full day. We'll give you a clear timeframe and upfront quote before touching a single bolt.
Yes. We always recommend replacing shocks and struts in axle pairs (both front or both rear) to maintain balanced handling and prevent uneven tyre wear. Mixing new components with worn ones compromises stability and safety.
