Suspension, Steering & Wheel Alignment in Salford
Knocks over speed bumps, a car that pulls to one side, vague steering or tyres wearing on one edge — suspension and steering faults make your car unsafe and eat tyres. SS ADAM LTD repairs the full system at our Salford workshop, from shock absorbers and springs to steering racks and precision 4-wheel alignment.
Greater Manchester's potholes are brutal on suspension. If you've hit one hard, a quick check now is far cheaper than a snapped spring or worn tyre later.

Suspension & Steering — frequently asked questions
How do I know if my shock absorbers are worn?
The car feels floaty or bouncy, nose-dives under braking, or bounces more than once after a bump. Worn shocks increase stopping distance significantly — they're a safety item, not a comfort item.
Why is my car pulling to one side?
Most often wheel alignment, but it can also be a sticking brake caliper, uneven tyre pressures or worn suspension parts. We check the actual cause before adjusting anything.
What does wheel alignment cost and how long does it take?
4-wheel alignment usually takes under an hour. Call 07359 070 779 for current pricing — it typically pays for itself in the tyre wear it prevents.
I hit a pothole and now hear a knocking noise — is it serious?
Possibly. Knocking after pothole impact commonly means a damaged anti-roll bar link, bush or spring. It's a quick, inexpensive check — and unsafe to ignore.
