Suspension & Steering you can trust
Your suspension and steering do more than smooth out the ride. They keep your tyres on the road and your car predictable when you brake and corner. Worn components lengthen stopping distances and wear your tyres unevenly.
If your car bounces, drifts, clunks over bumps or the steering feels loose or heavy, we will find the cause and explain your options before any work starts.
What is included
- Shock absorber and strut replacement
- Control arm, bush and ball joint repairs
- Power steering diagnosis and repairs
- Steering rack and tie rod end replacement
- Noise, vibration and handling diagnosis
- Wheel alignment to finish the job properly

“Had my Honda HR-V serviced here recently and everything went smoothly. The team was professional, friendly, and explained things clearly. The service was completed on time and the car feels great. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone in the area.”
“Col Harrison’s are one of the best mechanics I’ve ever encountered. Friendly, professional, prompt and excellent communication. They go that extra step in showing you through diagnostic images and explanation what the repair entailed. Very impressive with great care taken.”
Our Story
Modern automotive expertise, old-school service
Established in 1989 by Col Harrison, our workshop has looked after West Ryde families and businesses for more than 35 years, built on honest advice, quality workmanship and genuine care.
In 2025 the business entered a new chapter under owner Josh Hallinan, who grew Col’s Body Shop from a small local repairer into one of Sydney’s leading collision businesses. That same focus on systems, customer experience and doing the right thing now drives Col Harrison Automotive.
We do not see ourselves as just mechanics. We are trusted advisors. If a repair can wait, we will tell you. If something does not need doing, we will say so.

FAQ
Suspension & Steering, answered honestly
A bouncy or rough ride, clunking over bumps, uneven tyre wear, or the car nose diving when you brake all point to worn suspension. Bring it in and we will check it.
Yes. Replacing suspension or steering parts can change your wheel angles, so an alignment afterwards protects your tyres and keeps the steering true. We can do both in the one visit.
Yes. We service and repair suspension and steering on all makes and models, including European vehicles, with the right parts and diagnostic gear.
Many jobs, such as shocks or struts, are done in a day. We will give you a clear time and price once we have inspected the car and know exactly what is needed.
A shake through the steering can come from wheel balance, worn suspension or steering components, or warped brake rotors. We will pinpoint the cause rather than guessing.
