How much does a suspension repair cost?
We always strive to give you a fixed price up front and let you be in control of costs.
If your shock absorbers are worn and need to be replaced then you’re looking at a starting cost of about $150.00 which could increase to over $500.00 depending on what needs to be replaced and whether there are any other issues that need taking care of as well. Some luxury brand cars are fitted with electronically controlled shock absorbers and the replacement cost for some of these types of parts can quickly exceed $1,000
Other issues may include the replacement of other steering components or things like suspension bushes. To have the suspension bush replaced you could be looking at a cost of $100.00 ranging up to $350.00, depending on the location of the auto suspension repair and how long it takes the mechanic to gain suitable access.
The service cost and repair cost can differ based on the make and model of your vehicle and also the part which needs to be repaired. Rest assured, every Lube Mobile mechanic will show you an itemised quote of the work involved before commencing work on your car. This gives you the control and helps you decide if replacing a part is more cost-effective in the long run.

Suspension Repair FAQs
How does suspension work?
Your car’s suspension works by absorbing shocks from the surface you are driving on and maintaining wheel alignment for stability.
Simply, your car’s suspension consists of:
Springs (Coil or Leaf Springs) – Absorb impact from bumps and dips, supporting the vehicle's weight.
Shock Absorbers (Dampers) – Control the motion of the springs, preventing excessive bouncing.
Control Arms & Bushings – Connect the wheels to the frame and allow controlled movement.
Anti-Roll Bars (Sway Bars) – Reduce body roll when turning, improving stability.
Struts (in some vehicles) – Combine shocks and springs into a single unit for space efficiency.
Most modern cars use coil springs at the front and rear along with struts or shocks, while trucks and SUVs may use coils in the front suspension and leaf springs in the rear suspension. A spring is used to allow for suspension travel whenever you drive while the shock or strut works alongside it to dampen the bounce it produces.
Suspension springs, both coil and leaf springs, are made out of high-carbon steel. Coil springs are essentially heated steel bars that are curved into a cylindrical shape and cooled for a strong spring.
Leaf springs are much the same, except in flat bars and stacked together for increased rigidity. Exceeding the load capacity of the spring can cause it to sag or break, and require replacement.
Unsure about your car's service history?
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your car and save you money. Book a routine service or repair today and we’ll come to you at a time and place that suits your schedule.
What are the signs of damaged or worn suspension?
Your suspension is designed to provide you and your passengers with a comfortable ride. The key component is the spring that designed to absorb the shocks associated with normal driving and disperse that energy while navigating turns at speed.
This might also include an unnatural noise or squeak from the undercarriage of your car, or it may be a harder or softer ride than you’re used to. Often excessive bouncing while you’re driving your vehicle will indicate a problem too.
If there is a problem with your suspension system, you may notice excessive body roll through corners. This makes it more difficult to maintain grip on the road and will slow you down. It will also heavily affect your ability to respond to emergency situations on the road.
Common signs that your vehicle may need a suspension repair or service include:
- Discomfort over bumps on the road
- Difficulty navigating corners
- Excessive tyre wear
- Uneven car height
If you notice any of the above symptoms, book a routine service or repair today. We'll come to you, diagnose your car's problem and give you an itemised quote before we do any work.
How long should my suspension last?
Your car's suspension should typically last 80,000 to 150,000 km or around 5 to 10 years, depending on driving conditions and maintenance.
Shock absorbers & struts – 80,000 to 150,000 km
Control arms & bushings – 100,000 to 150,000 km
Ball joints – 100,000 km (or sooner if worn)
Springs – Usually last the life of the car unless damaged
If you're experiencing handling issues, strange noises, or a rough ride, it might be time to check your suspension!
