Suspension Repair in Alicante — Autograph BVS

Welcome to Autograph BVS — a professional auto repair service in Finestrat, Alicante. We offer a complete range of suspension system repair services using modern equipment and highly qualified specialists.

The suspension system is a collection of mechanisms and units that ensure your vehicle’s movement, vibration damping, and maneuverability. Our team in Finestrat is ready to diagnose, repair, and service your suspension quickly and professionally.

What is a Vehicle Suspension System?

The suspension system is a combination of mechanisms and components that ensure the vehicle’s movement, dampen vibrations and shocks, and enable steering control. It includes suspension, steering system, wheels, and braking system.

Main suspension system components:

• Shock absorbers — absorb shocks and vibrations
• Springs and leaf springs — support the vehicle’s weight
• Suspension arms — link wheels to the body
• Steering rack — converts steering wheel rotation into wheel movement
• Tie rods — transmit force from the rack to wheels
• Ball joints — provide pivoting connections
• Anti-roll bar — reduces body roll in turns
• Wheel bearings — enable wheel rotation
• Steering column — transmits driver’s effort to the steering rack
• Links and spindles — connect suspension elements

Why is suspension repair needed?

• Ensure road safety
• Improve maneuverability and comfort
• Prevent premature tire wear
• Reduce fuel consumption
• Prevent expensive repairs
• Pass technical inspection (ITV)

What Components Are Included in the Suspension System?

1. Suspension System

The suspension system consists of several types:

Independent suspension:

• Each wheel moves independently from others
• Better shock absorption
• Provides better comfort and maneuverability
• Used on modern vehicles

Dependent suspension:

• Wheels are linked through a rigid axle
• Simpler and cheaper to manufacture
• Found on trucks and SUVs

Semi-dependent suspension:

• Combination of independent and dependent suspension
• Used on rear axles of many vehicles

Suspension components:

• Shock absorbers (front and rear)
• Springs and buffers
• Arms (upper and lower)
• Anti-roll bar
• Ball joints
• Wheel bearings
• Bushings and gaskets

2. Steering System

The steering system converts steering wheel movements into wheel movement:

• Steering column — rod that the driver rotates
• Steering mechanism — converts rotary motion to linear motion
• Steering rack — linear mechanism moving wheels left-right
• Tie rods — transmit movement from rack to wheels
• Ball joints of tie rods — provide connections
• Steering knuckles — connect rods to turning knuckles
• Spindles — parts of axle on which wheels rotate
• Steering booster — eases steering (hydraulic or electric)

3. Wheels and Tires

Wheels connect the vehicle to the road:

• Rims — metal bases on which tires are mounted
• Tires — rubber covers providing road grip
• Wheel bearings — enable rotation
• Bolts and nuts — attach wheels to hub

4. Braking System (Related to Suspension)

Although brakes are a separate system, they are often checked during suspension repair:

• Brake discs and drums
• Brake pads
• Brake calipers
• Master brake cylinder
• Wheel brake cylinders

Signs of Suspension System Malfunction

If you notice any of these signs, contact Autograph BVS for diagnostics:

Steering Issues

• Heavy steering wheel, difficult to turn
• Steering wheel “wanders”, requires constant adjustment

Unusual Sounds While Moving

• Squeaking sounds during turns
• Knocking or clicking sounds over bumps
• Rattling and clanging from underneath
• Grinding or knocking sounds from suspension
• Squealing when moving
• Clattering from under the hood

Abnormal Behavior While Moving

• Vehicle bounces on bumps
• Excessive body swaying while moving
• Abnormal body roll during turns
• Vehicle “dives” during braking (rear drops)
• Vehicle “rises” during acceleration (rear rises)
• Uneven ride, vibrations while moving

Wheel and Tire Issues

• Uneven tire wear
• Inner or outer tire edge worn more than center
• Rapid wear of one tire
• Tires worn much sooner than expected
• Visible play in wheels
• Wheels rubbing on fenders while moving

Braking Issues

• Soft brake pedal
• Brake pedal goes to the floor
• Uneven braking (pulls to one side)
• Vibration in pedal while braking
• Noises while braking

Fluid Leaks

• Oil under vehicle
• Fluid under front (possibly steering fluid)
• Brake fluid leaking

Deformations and Visible Damage

• Shock absorber boot torn
• Visible damaged suspension parts
• Missing or broken suspension components
• Damaged or bent wheels
