We will give you a Suspension Inspection for Free.

While getting a wheel alignment service, we will ensure to provide a complimentary suspension check.

At Fulcrum Suspensions, we not only have the experience and tools to provide specialist wheel alignment tailored to your vehicle but also can inspect and provide a report on your suspension.

When you choose us for a wheel alignment, you receive a complimentary suspension check and inspection as there may be an underlying issue causing the need for a wheel alignment, or there could possibly be an undiagnosed suspension issue.

During your visit, our expert technicians will systematically review various components of your vehicle, including suspension bushings, control arms, shocks, tie rod ends, brakes, and more (as part of our suspension inspection process).

Your vehicles suspension system isn’t designed to just make your drive smoother, it is a key part that keep you safe while driving. Without your suspension, your brakes and wheels would not respond accurately and reduce the responsiveness of the vehicle, which poses a great safety risk.

When you get your vehicle serviced by a general mechanic their primary focus is on your engine and will either not check your suspension system or only check a few components. This can be due to the limited experience and/or tools to check your vehicles full suspension system.

Our team of highly trained and experienced suspension technicians will thoroughly inspect all steering and suspension components. Should our inspection reveal any immediate work required on your vehicle, our suspension technicians will collaborate with you to identify the best solution that suits both you and your vehicle's needs.

Whether you drive a front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, or 4WD vehicle, we guarantee that once we have finished working on your car it will have the best suspension work ever done. We back this up by providing a 1000km checkup to ensure everything is going well for you and your car after you have been able to test drive it.

Why and when you should consider a Wheel Alignment

6 Months or 10,000km since your last suspension check
Uneven or excessive steering pull
When you drive on smooth roads it feels rough or harsh
Brakes are activating unevenly
Off centre steering wheel
Loud vibrations while driving

Increased braking distance
Excessive or uneven tyre wear
Vehicles that constantly carry heavy loads
You often go off road or on long road trips
Your vehicle is difficult to control/steer
Abnormal noises coming front or rear of vehicle

There are several telltale signs that your vehicle might be well overdue for a wheel alignment. These include the vehicle pulling to one side, your tyres wearing unevenly, and experiencing vibrations or shudders through the steering. Even if your vehicle isn't exhibiting any of these signs, you may still benefit from a wheel alignment.

If your car has not had a wheel alignment in more than 6 months or it has been 10,000km or more since your last wheel alignment. You should seriously consider a wheel alignment.

If your vehicle pulls to one side when you're driving on a straight road, it's a clear indicator of misalignment. Check your tires regularly for uneven wear patterns. If you notice that one side of a tire is more worn than the other, it's likely due to misalignment. As mentioned earlier, if you feel vibrations or shudders through the steering wheel, it's a sign that something is amiss with your wheel alignment.

Even if your vehicle isn't exhibiting any of these signs, there are specific intervals at which you should seriously consider a wheel alignment:

Time-Based: If your car has not had a wheel alignment in more than 6 months, it's a good idea to schedule one. Over time, normal wear and tear can lead to misalignment.
Distance-Based: If you've driven your vehicle for 10,000 kilometers or more since your last wheel alignment, it's time to have it checked. Frequent driving can gradually affect your wheel alignment.

A Free 1000km Checkup is included to ensure you get the best.

At Fulcrum Suspensions, we understand the importance of not only providing exceptional service when you've had suspension work performed on your vehicle but also ensuring that your driving experience remains top-notch afterward. That's why we offer a complimentary 1000km Post-Suspension Service Checkup as part of our commitment to your satisfaction and the long-term performance of your suspension system.

This Free 1000km Post-Suspension Service Checkup is a valuable service designed to give you peace of mind and address any potential issues that may have arisen following the suspension service. Even though modern suspension work is carried out to rigorous standards, it's essential to have a thorough inspection shortly after hitting the 1000km mark post-service. This milestone allows us to identify and rectify any early-stage concerns that could escalate into more significant problems if left unattended.

We ensure you always feel better after having a wheel alignment

Experiencing a good wheel alignment brings a sense of relief and satisfaction that every driver can appreciate. When your vehicle's front wheels are out of alignment, it doesn't follow a straight path as it should. This deviation from the intended course can be a source of frustration and concern. However, the benefits of a properly aligned vehicle extend far beyond just a straighter path.

One of the most noticeable advantages of a well-executed wheel alignment is the significant improvement in the overall driving experience. No longer will you have to fight with the steering wheel to keep your car on the road, as it will naturally track straight ahead. This not only reduces driver fatigue but also enhances the safety of your journey, making every drive a more enjoyable and stress-free experience.

However, the benefits of wheel alignment go well beyond improved driving comfort. Correct alignment plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan of your tyres. When your wheels are misaligned, they exert uneven pressure on the tread, causing accelerated tyre wear. This premature wear not only means more frequent tyre replacements but also increased operating costs. A properly aligned vehicle, on the other hand, promotes even tyre wear, ensuring that your tyres last longer and saving you money in the long run.

Moreover, a wheel alignment can positively impact your vehicle's fuel economy. Misaligned wheels create additional rolling resistance, forcing your engine to work harder to propel the car. This extra effort translates to higher fuel consumption and reduced fuel efficiency. By addressing wheel misalignment, you'll find yourself visiting the fuel pump less frequently, ultimately saving on fuel costs and reducing your carbon footprint.

Furthermore, correct alignment contributes to even braking and consistent handling. When your wheels are properly aligned, your vehicle's braking system can operate at its full potential, ensuring uniform brake pad wear and efficient stopping power. This means better control during sudden stops and overall safer driving conditions.

In conclusion, a car wheel alignment is more than just a mechanical adjustment; it's a transformational service that impacts various aspects of your driving experience and vehicle performance. From improved safety and handling to extended tyre life and enhanced fuel efficiency, the benefits of wheel alignment ripple through your driving life, offering both peace of mind and cost savings. So, the next time you consider vehicle maintenance, remember that a wheel alignment is not just an option – it's a necessity for the well-being of your car and your wallet.

4WD Wheel Alignment

A 4WD wheel alignment is different to an ordinary alignment in a few key ways. Firstly, the adjustable rear suspension of a 4WD means the rear wheels need to be aligned independently of the front wheels.

Secondly, 4WDs typically have a larger turning circle than other vehicles, so the wheels need to be aligned to allow for this.

Finally, because 4WDs are typically rear wheel drive vehicles, the weight distribution is different and this needs to be taken into account when aligning the wheels. As a result, a 4WD wheel alignment is a more complex process than an ordinary alignment, but it is essential for keeping these vehicles running smoothly.
