What we do

Steering, suspension, servicing and 4WD gear, all under one roof in Cooma.

Steering and suspension is the name on the shop, and it's where most of our work starts. We look after the rest of the car or ute too, and fit the gear that turns a new 4WD into one that's ready for the high country.

Steering and suspension

Clunks, a front end that wanders, worn ball joints, a shock or spring that's given up. Bring it in and we'll track down what's actually causing it, then fix that.

  • Ball joints and steering parts
  • Shocks and springs
  • Suspension repairs

Bars, snorkels and winches

We're Cooma's ARB stockist and we fit what we sell. Bullbars, side steps and rails, snorkels, winches and canopies, fitted in our own workshop.

  • ARB bars and canopies
  • Safari snorkels
  • Warn winches
  • TUFF bars

Wheel alignments

Tyres wearing on one edge or the wheel sitting crooked? We'll put it on the alignment and get it tracking straight again, especially after a lift or new suspension.

  • Wheel alignments
  • After new tyres or a lift

Servicing and repairs

We do general servicing and repairs as well, so the daily and the work ute can come to the same place as the 4WD.

  • Vehicle servicing
  • General mechanical repairs

Suspension lifts

A lift's a suspension job first and an accessory second, which is exactly the work we specialise in. We've fitted Old Man Emu lifts, and we're a Dobinsons stockist too.

  • Old Man Emu lifts
  • Dobinsons stockist

Dealer and fleet fit-outs

We've kitted out whole runs of new vehicles for local dealerships: bars, winches, side steps and lifts.

  • New vehicle fit-outs
  • Several vehicles at a time

Why Cooma brings it to us

A 4WD fit-out in Cooma, done by steering and suspension specialists.

01

Suspension people do the fitting

A bar and a winch add real weight up front, and a lift changes your steering geometry. Ours get fitted by steering and suspension specialists, so it's all set up to work together.

02

The gear's here on Sharp Street

We're the local ARB stockist, with recovery gear, compressors and lighting in the showroom, so you can see it, ask about it and have it fitted in one spot.

03

Licensed, and in town for the long haul

We're a licensed motor vehicle repairer (MVRL51244) and we've been doing this in Cooma for more than ten years.

Reviews

What Cooma and the folks passing through say about us.

We'd rather you heard it from the people who bring their cars and utes to us.

“If only all 4WD specific businesses were as good as Steve and his team. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years and have had multiple vehicles worked on and accessorised. The quality of work is always great, and you get your vehicle back in a clean and tidy condition. They have a good selection of accessories and vendors to get what you want and in a timely fashion. 10/10”
