Suspension

OzTec Suspension

OZTech Logo

OzTec Suspension is a First Class range of 4WD suspension components researched, developed and tested by George Shepheard Auto Developments in Australia to suit Australian Conditions.

Rather than just develop a range of 4WD suspension that will do the job, The Research and Development team at GSA have taken the OzTec Shock Absorber range a step further by developing the “Comfort” range to suit lightly loaded vehicles with minimal accessories where comfort is the priority.

Then there is the “Cargo” range of Shock Absorbers designed and valved to control the extra weight when steel bull bars, winches, roof racks, long range fuel tanks and the like are fitted.

To guarantee a High Quality product good enough to carry a Lifetime Warranty, we have chosen some of the world’s most highly regarded shock absorber manufactures such as “Cofap” of Brazil and “ZF Sachs” of Germany to manufacture our OzTec Shock Absorbers.

Upgrading sway bars is not just limited to sports or passenger vehicles. 4×4’s and utility’s benefit greatly from larger sway bars particularly where heavier loads, towing and /or highway driving is involved.

WHITELINE adjustable sway bars offer from 2 up to 4 points of adjustment allowing in some cases 10 distinct stiffness settings for precise handling bias adjustment.

4X4 Upper Control Arms (UCA)

A short fall of the modern day IFS 4wd is the adjustment range provided for successful wheel alignments, this becomes even more of an issue when the vehicle is lifted by more than 1 inch. Not only does the vehicle run into camber and caster issues, but ball joint articulation and clearance issues to the coil over strut at ride and droop height.
The new WHITELINE offset UCA (Upper Control Arm) is an all-in-one solution for any vehicle that has been lifted between 30mm and 70mm. Providing an increase between +2.5 and +3.5 degrees of caster and up to 1.5 degrees of negative camber increase (figures quoted are based off an approximate 50mm/ 2 inch) along with greater clearance to the coil over strut and more articulation of the arm by virtue of new maintenance free GIIRO bushing technology.

Driving should be an enjoyable experience, but mechanical issues often compromise it. While it is easy to blame age and wear and tear, the truth of the matter is that for your vehicles to run at their best, they must be serviced professionally and regularly.

If you need suspension specialists in Toowoomba then the chances are that you are experiencing issues that are making life on the road a lot more difficult than it should be. With any luck, a simple solution is all that is required, but even if you believe the issues are more challenging, choosing the right team to address them should be your top priority.

At Garden City Tyre & Mechanical, we are a team of professionals that have extensive experience working with cars, four-wheel-drive vehicles as well as commercial vehicles.

Here at Garden City Tyre & Mechanical, we have met plenty of drivers and vehicle owners that made a few crucial mistakes that resulted in the need for repairs or considerable attention from our mechanics.

As the suspension experts in Toowoomba, you can trust in and rely on, one of the most common mistakes that we encounter are issues that arise from a belief that the suspension did not require any maintenance. There are a lot of moving parts incorporated into the suspension of your vehicle and if they are left unattended to over time, it is only inevitable that they will require attention.

Having your power steering, shocks and all other elements checked and the undercarriage of the vehicle cleaned regularly is a small but effective way to lengthen their effectiveness and the life of your car.

There are a lot of drivers that put up with bad shocks for a long time before they ever have anything done about it. One of the biggest problems in such instances is that in the event of an emergency where you must stop the vehicle suddenly, your ability to do so may be compromised and it might take a lot longer than you think to finally come to a standstill. What’s more, if the suspension is broken, the car could slide.

Given that we spend a lot of time mixing and networking with the extended motoring community we appreciate that there are plenty of drivers that fit larger wheels to their cars, to achieve a desired aesthetic. It’s important to consult your Toowoomba car mechanics in such instances because larger wheels may require an adjustment to the suspension to compensate for this change and limit the chances of your car failing to perform as you expect it to.

At Garden City Tyre & Mechanical, we are considered Toowoomba’s suspension specialists because we possess a huge amount of knowledge and insight into what is required to keep your suspension working at its best. We can service all mechanical needs and encourage those that wish to bolster the efficiency and effectiveness of their vehicles to get in touch today.
