Expert repairs to your cars suspension and wheel control assembly
Your cars wheels are connected to your car through your suspension, control arms, CV Joints and axles.
When these become worn your car starts handling badly, your road holding deteriorates and tyre wear accelerates. With the poor condition of many of the roads in South Africa your CV Joints and suspension system takes a hammering daily.
At Blue Bay we are experts at assessing wear on these items. The whole system needs to be checked as each part is interconnected. When you take your car to a “CV Joint Specialist” or shock absorber replacement business they will attend to what they specialize in without really looking at the car as an integrated whole.
When you bring your car to Blue Bay Auto, before we suggest a replacement part, our highly experienced and expert mechanics will diagnose the entire suspension and drivetrain system to highlight what has caused the problem and what needs to be done to fix your car.
