Steering & Suspension Geelong — Repairs, Alignment & Handling Experts
Worn shocks, pulling steering, or handling that's never been right since an accident — NGARC's Geelong technicians diagnose and repair all steering and suspension problems. From a basic wheel alignment to a full suspension overhaul, we restore safe, precise handling across all makes and models.
What We Do
What Steering & Suspension Repairs Does NGARC Handle?
Your vehicle's steering and suspension systems work together to keep your tyres in contact with the road, absorb bumps and impacts, and allow you to steer accurately. When components wear or are damaged — whether through normal use or a collision — handling becomes imprecise, tyre wear accelerates, and safety is compromised. At NGARC, our technicians perform a thorough road test and inspection to identify worn or damaged components before presenting you with a clear, written repair quote. We carry out the full range of steering and suspension work on-site, including professional wheel alignment to ensure every repair is completed to the correct specification.
- Shock absorber and strut replacement (all types)
- Ball joint, tie rod end, and control arm repair and replacement
- Wheel alignment — 2-wheel and 4-wheel computerised alignment
- Power steering system repairs — hydraulic and electric (EPAS)
- Steering rack, column, and pump repair and replacement
- Coil spring, leaf spring, and suspension bush replacement

Our Promise
Why Choose NGARC for Steering & Suspension in Geelong?
Computerised Wheel Alignment Equipment
Every steering and suspension repair is followed by a computerised wheel alignment check. Correct alignment prevents premature tyre wear, restores straight-line tracking, and ensures your vehicle handles as the manufacturer intended — not just as good as it was before, but correct.
Accident Suspension Damage Expertise
Collision impacts frequently damage steering and suspension components — bent control arms, damaged tie rods, compromised strut assemblies, and sub-frame distortion. Because NGARC is both a smash repair centre and mechanical workshop, we identify all suspension damage as part of the collision assessment and repair it correctly under the one claim.
Systematic Diagnosis — Road Test and Inspection
We don't guess at suspension problems. Our technicians road test your vehicle to replicate handling issues, then perform a thorough underbody inspection with the vehicle on the hoist — checking every component for wear, play, and damage before recommending any work.
Quality Parts with Warranty
We fit quality replacement parts — OEM specification or equivalent — and back our repairs with a parts and labour warranty. Cheap parts in safety-critical suspension components are a false economy; we won't fit components we wouldn't put on our own vehicles.
All Makes and Models
From Japanese and Korean vehicles through to European marques and American trucks — our technicians have the training, tooling, and alignment specifications to service and repair the suspension and steering systems across a wide range of makes and model years.
Transparent Pricing Before Work Starts
After diagnosing the fault, we provide a clear written quote itemising parts and labour before any work begins. You'll know exactly what needs replacing and why. No surprise extras at collection.
Step by Step
How Our Steering & Suspension Service Works
Book & Describe the Handling Issue
Call 03 4244 8938 or use our online quote form. Describe what you're experiencing — pulling to one side, vibration through the steering wheel, clunking over bumps, uneven tyre wear, or damage from a collision. The more detail you provide, the better prepared we'll be when your vehicle arrives.
Road Test & Suspension Inspection
Our technician road tests your vehicle to replicate and assess the handling concern, then raises it on the hoist for a thorough undercar inspection — checking shock absorbers, struts, springs, ball joints, tie rods, control arms, bushes, and steering components for wear, play, and damage.
Written Quote & Approval
We present a clear written quote once the inspection is complete — parts and labour itemised. We explain what's worn or damaged, what we recommend, and what it will cost. Work begins only after you approve the quote.
Repair, Alignment Check & Test Drive
We complete all repairs using quality parts, then perform a computerised wheel alignment check to verify geometry is correct. A final test drive confirms the handling issue is resolved and your vehicle is safe to return to the road.
