CV Joints FAQ
What are the symptoms of a bad CV joint?
4 signs of a bad CV axle/half shaft:
1. "Clicking" noises when turning.
2. A knocking sound.
3. Grease on the inside or edge of the tyres — the CV axle joint has boots that contain grease while the axle spins, keeping it from leaking.
4. Vibration while driving. This is a tricky one, since there are many things that could cause vibration when you drive.
Is it safe to drive with a bad CV joint?
A severely worn out CV joint can even disintegrate while you're driving and make the car undrivable. You may lose control of the vehicle entirely. It is not safe to drive with a damaged CV joint. Look for some symptoms of a failing CV joint to have it repaired before it becomes unsafe to operate the vehicle.
How long can you drive on a bad CV joint?
The short answer is about five months. But by the end of your fifth month, you should take your car to a mechanic to get the faulty part replaced. Anything longer than five months isn't a safe choice for you or your car. It is however advisable to replace the CV joint as soon as possible.
How long do CV joints last?
About 80,000 miles. The axle shafts on the car have a knuckle where it turns and goes to the wheels. This knuckle is covered by the CV boot, which is used constantly while the car is in use. Usually, CV boots will last about 80,000 miles before they have to be replaced.
Should both CV joints be replaced?
CV joints and boots can be replaced individually, but most professional technicians — and even do-it-yourselfers — prefer to replace the whole halfshaft assembly with a remanufactured shaft. On a high-mileage vehicle with a bad CV joint or boot, it's often a good idea to replace both shafts at the same time.

Suspension Repairs FAQ's
What is car suspension repair?
The parts that need to be included in the suspension repair are the springs, shock absorbers, and the anti-sway bars. Typically, both sides of the suspension system should be replaced at the same time to prevent any stress placed on the new parts by the older parts still there.
How do you know if your suspension is damaged?
Car rides roughly. Most people can tell their shocks or struts are wearing out when they begin to feel every bump in the road, or when every bump causes the vehicle body to "bounce." A rough ride is an obvious sign that your vehicle's suspension needs work.
Signs your car needs suspension repair
1. Car rides roughly. Most people can tell their shocks or struts are wearing out when they begin to feel every bump in the road, or when every bump causes the vehicle body to "bounce."
2. Drifting or pulling during turns. With a failing suspension system, you'll often feel the vehicle "drift" or "pull" when you're turning — the shocks are no longer keeping the vehicle body stable against the centrifugal force of a turn, increasing your risk of a rollover.
3. Dips or "nose dives" when stopping. When the shocks are worn out, you're likely to feel the vehicle body lurching forward and downward nose-first when you apply the brakes firmly. This can affect your ability to stop the car quickly.
4. Uneven tyre treads. If you notice the tread wearing down unevenly, or balding spots, the suspension isn't holding the car evenly, putting uneven pressure on the tyres.
5. Damaged, "oily" shocks. If the shocks or struts look greasy or oily, there's a good chance they're leaking fluid and aren't working properly.
6. Try the "bounce test." With the car in park, press down on the front of the vehicle with all your weight, bounce it a few times, then release. Do the same at the rear. If the car continues to rock more than 2-3 times after release, the suspension is wearing out.
What causes suspension issues?
A sudden shock from a pothole or other obstruction in the road can damage this system. Over time, these shocks will wear out the components of your vehicle suspension, thus reducing their life. As an experienced driver, you know that potholes and rough roads are part of life, especially during winter.
Power Steering Services
A well-functioning steering system is essential for your safety and driving comfort. At our fitment centre, we provide specialised power steering services to restore and maintain the performance of your vehicle's steering — whether it's power-assisted or manual. We offer expert diagnostics, repairs, and replacements for all types of steering systems, using high-quality components and precision workmanship to ensure your car handles exactly as it should.
Power Steering Overhauls
We perform complete overhauls of power steering systems, stripping down, inspecting, and rebuilding components to restore the system to like-new condition. This is ideal for systems experiencing persistent leaks, stiffness, or loss of hydraulic power.
Power Steering Pumps
The pump is the heart of the hydraulic steering system. If you're experiencing whining noises, jerky steering, or difficulty turning the wheel, your power steering pump may be failing. We repair or replace faulty pumps to restore full functionality and smooth steering control.
Power Steering Pipes & Hoses
Leaks in power steering pipes or hoses can lead to fluid loss and steering failure. We replace or repair high- and low-pressure steering pipes and hoses, ensuring the system is sealed, efficient, and safe for continued use.
Manual Steering Racks
For vehicles that do not use hydraulic or electric power steering, we also service manual steering racks. Whether you're experiencing excessive play, uneven steering feel, or noise, we can repair or replace worn components to restore precise control.
Power Steering Repairs FAQ
What are the signs of power steering problems?
1. Steering wheel is very stiff.
2. Loose steering wheel.
3. Whining/groaning noises.
4. Squealing noise when the vehicle starts.
5. Steering slow to respond.
What causes power steering problems?
Power steering systems require hydraulic fluid to operate. Hydraulic power steering fluid can leak from worn or damaged hoses and failing seals. When enough fluid is lost, the power steering pump can overheat or wear out prematurely, resulting in a loss of hydraulic pressure and failure of the power steering system.
Can you drive a car if the power steering fails?
Driving your car for extended periods without power steering fluid can damage the pump. While there's nothing that physically stops you from driving your car if you have a power steering fluid leak, once the level drops, your pump runs dry. This causes increased friction and heat and can quickly cause expensive damage.
Brake System Repairs & Replacements
Your vehicle's braking system is one of its most critical safety features. At our fitment centre, we offer comprehensive brake system services, ensuring your vehicle stops smoothly, safely, and reliably in all driving conditions. Whether you're hearing unusual noises, feeling vibrations when braking, or simply due for a service, our experienced technicians are equipped to inspect, repair, or replace your brake components with precision and care.
Brake Discs (Rotors)
We inspect and replace worn or warped brake discs, ensuring smooth and even braking performance. Quality discs are essential for heat dissipation and optimal stopping power.
Brake Pads
Your brake pads wear down with regular use. We supply and fit high-performance brake pads that deliver strong, consistent stopping power while reducing noise and brake dust.
Brake Drums
For vehicles with drum brakes, we resurface or replace brake drums to maintain effective braking and eliminate vibrations or pulling.
Brake Shoes
We replace worn brake shoes, which press against the brake drum to create friction and stop your vehicle. Correctly fitted shoes ensure reliable braking performance.
Brake Calipers
Calipers house the brake pads and apply pressure to the discs. We repair or replace damaged or seized calipers, which can cause uneven braking and excessive pad wear.
Wheel Cylinders
In drum brake systems, we service and replace wheel cylinders, which push the shoes against the drum. Leaking or faulty cylinders reduce brake efficiency and pose a safety risk.
All our brake services are performed using quality-assured parts and industry-approved methods, ensuring your vehicle's braking system is restored to its optimal condition.
Brake Repairs FAQ's
What does it mean to get your brakes fixed?
A brake job usually involves replacing the brake linings (the brake pads and/or shoes), resurfacing the rotors and/or drums, adding new brake fluid and bleeding the system as needed, and checking for other worn components.
When should you get your brakes fixed?
You can't plan on needing brake service on a set schedule, say every 20,000 or 50,000 miles — brakes can wear out after 18,000 or 60,000. It depends on individual driving habits and road conditions.
How long can you drive on grinding brakes?
Depending on the severity of the damage, it's possible to drive the car for a while before the brakes completely wear down. However, this isn't advisable — it's not safe, and driving on grinding brakes will only make the issue worse and increase the cost of repair.
How to tell if your brakes need replacing
Squealing noise: some squealing is expected under normal conditions, but a loud screeching sound is a warning that brake pads may need replacing — some pads use a sensor designed to screech when due for replacement. If you wait too long, the screeching is replaced by a grinding noise, meaning the pads have worn down completely and may have damaged the disc.
Warning light: some cars have a dashboard warning light for brake attention. Check your owner's manual, as not all cars are fitted with brake pad sensors.
Car pulling to one side: if your car pulls to one side while driving, it could be a sign of worn brake pads or a sticking caliper guide pin or piston.
Visual check: check your brakes regularly, roughly every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) — especially important if your car has no sensors. If less than 3mm of the brake pad is visible through the wheel spokes, it needs replacing.
Vibrations: if you feel your car vibrating as you brake, your brake discs might be abnormally worn or have suffered thermal damage from severe braking.
Gearbox & Clutch Repairs
The gearbox and clutch system are vital to your vehicle's performance, smooth operation, and drivability.

Clutch Hydraulics
Issues with your clutch pedal not returning, or trouble engaging gears, may point to problems in the clutch hydraulic system. We inspect, repair, or replace components such as the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and hydraulic lines to ensure proper fluid pressure and smooth pedal operation.
All work is carried out using high-quality parts and precision tools, and every job is backed by our commitment to excellent workmanship and customer satisfaction.
Gearbox Repairs FAQ
Can a gearbox be repaired?
Typically, when a vehicle is losing one or more gears, it is most likely a problem with your transmission or gear shifter. If the problem lies with the inner parts of the transmission, you will need to have it serviced or replaced by a professional mechanic who specialises in transmission repair.
What are the symptoms of a bad gearbox?
Transmission won't engage or stay in gear; shifts are delayed or missing gears; transmission slipping or engine revving high; transmission fluid leaking; a burning smell; buzzing, clunking or humming noise; or the car has no power.
What is a gearbox service?
The fluid that protects and lubricates bearings and gears breaks down over time and gets corroded. Changing the fluid protects gears with proper lubrication and guards against bearing and gear failures.
Can you drive with a bad gearbox?
Short answer: no. The only thing you should do if you think you have a faulty transmission is go for a quick trip to your local mechanic. If you have a bad transmission, it's only a matter of time before your vehicle literally won't be able to drive anywhere.
