You probably don’t imagine cold weather and car suspension failures go hand in hand, but they do.

The number from December 2017 was up by nearly a quarter (24 per cent) compared to the same time the year before.
For our customers, this represents a significant problem. There isn’t just the cost of having expensive suspension parts replaced. It’s the inconvenience of the problem occurring in the first place. That’s because broken suspension isn’t usually a roadside fix: cars must be recovered to garages to be mended. Read on to find out more about this phenomenon.
