Are you looking to improve your off-road adventures in the Mildura area? One solution is to upgrade your vehicle's suspension system with a 4x4 suspension kit professionally installed by Phil Smith Automotive. Also, we are your local EFS 4WD Dealer for ALL your 4X4 & 4WD Accessories.

A 4X4 suspension kit offers many benefits that can enhance your off-roading experience. One significant benefit is increased ground clearance, allowing you to tackle rough terrain without damaging the undercarriage of your vehicle. This added clearance also enables you to fit larger tyres, improving overall traction and control on any surface.

Benefits of a 4X4 Suspension Upgrade:
1. Enhanced off-road performance
2. Increased load capacity
3. Improved stability and control while driving on rough terrains

In addition, a 4X4 suspension upgrade can improve the handling of your vehicle on off-road tracks and reduce body roll during sharp turns. It also allows for greater stability, minimizing the risk of a rollover on steep hills or rocky terrain.

Furthermore, upgrading your Shock Absorbers at the same time can enhance the comfort of your ride on bumpy roads by providing smoother and more consistent shock absorption. This added comfort is especially important when traveling long distances on dirt roads in the Mildura area.

Speaking of Mildura, the region is renowned for its diverse landscapes, ranging from red dirt tracks to sandy river banks. The region is also known for its challenging and sometimes unpredictable road conditions. For instance, driving along the Calder Highway to Mildura, you might encounter potholes, bumps and loose gravel, making it difficult for your vehicle to maintain balance and traction.

The smoothness of your ride is not the sole purpose of the suspension system. To avoid potential issues, consistent maintenance and servicing is recommended and any anomalies should be promptly brought to our attention. Our established workshop, located in Mildura, is happy to serve those in neighbouring areas as well.

• Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.
• Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.
• Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.
• Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
