Shock Absorbers & Suspension Solutions
Need servicing for your car suspension in Swansea? Nova Auto Innovations supports local drivers by inspecting and repairing suspension systems at our fully equipped Charlestown workshop. Many vehicle owners from Swansea book suspension services when their car begins to feel unstable, uncomfortable or less predictable during everyday driving.
Our mechanics inspect shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushes and mounting components to identify wear that affects ride quality, handling and braking stability. We assess how the suspension responds during cornering, braking and travel over uneven road surfaces, focusing on tyre contact and vehicle balance. Using this detailed approach, our team identifies the underlying cause of suspension issues rather than relying on short-term fixes. We provide clear explanations to help drivers understand how suspension repairs improve safety, reduce uneven tyre wear and restore confidence behind the wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my shock absorbers are worn?
Common signs of worn shock absorbers include excessive bouncing after hitting bumps, nose-diving when braking and increased body roll during cornering. Uneven tyre wear, longer stopping distances and reduced steering control can also indicate shock issues. Some drivers notice knocking noises or a harsh ride over rough roads. Because symptoms can develop gradually, worn shocks are often overlooked. A professional inspection helps confirm whether shock absorbers are no longer controlling suspension movement effectively.
What are the signs of suspension problems?
Suspension problems may show up as clunking or knocking noises, uneven ride height, poor handling or vibrations while driving. The vehicle may pull to one side or feel unstable over bumps. Uneven tyre wear and difficulty maintaining wheel alignment can also point to suspension issues. Because the suspension includes multiple components, such as bushes, control arms and ball joints, a thorough inspection is often needed to identify the exact cause of the problem.
How often should shock absorbers be replaced?
Shock absorbers typically last between 60,000 and 100,000 kilometres, depending on driving conditions, vehicle load and road quality. Frequent driving on rough roads, towing or carrying heavy loads can shorten their lifespan. Some vehicles may need replacement sooner, while others last longer. Because shocks wear gradually, performance loss is not always obvious. Regular inspections help determine when replacement is needed to maintain safe handling and ride comfort.
