YOUR 4X4 SUSPENSION SPECIALIST
If you’re planning to explore Mornington Peninsula or greater Melbourne with some adventurous off-road driving, you may want to consider 4×4 suspensions. A quick Google search for 4×4 suspension near me will show you that this can be a pricey escapade but can bring heaps of driving pleasure when chosen wisely. At Port Phillip Automotive, we have deep industry knowledge to assist you with the most suitable, cost-effective suspension solution for your vehicle.
SHOULD I GET A 4WD SUSPENSION NEAR ME?
As 4×4 suspension specialists, we at Port Phillip Automotive have seen several cases of different suspension types for different purposes and on different models. We highly recommend that you consult with us before rushing into suspensions on your fourbie without understanding the reasoning behind it. Having suspensions on your vehicle does add a certain aesthetic appeal, but it also adds comfort, height, visibility and better road handling both on-road and off-road. The height of your vehicle and the size of your tires depends entirely on your lifestyle, so be careful not to go for heavy-duty suspension if you are driving mainly on-road with the occasional recreational adventure drive. For heavy loading and extreme driving, more torque and a steeper approach would be advisable.
Benefits Of 4×4 Suspensions
- Steep approach and better visibility
- Protect the undercarriage of your 4×4
- Absorbs impact for a comfortable ride
- Explore challenging terrains with confidence
- Improves stability and traction
- Allows heavy loading
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN GETTING 4X4 SUSPENSIONS
Port Phillip Automotive will help you to make the best choice in 4×4 suspension for your vehicle and your specific needs. Our professional mechanics in Mornington Peninsula will also help you to stay within the legal limit of vehicle raising with our sound advice and specialist knowledge.
SPRINGS
Fourbie suspensions can be achieved with coil springs, leaf springs or torsion bars. The type you decide to get depends on the frequency and extremity of off-road driving you plan to do. Speak to our team about the best option for your offroading goals and your budget.
SHOCK ABSORPTION
Shock absorption is an extremely beneficial feature for both on-road and off-road driving. It works by absorbing the impact of bumps to give you a comfortable, smoother ride, especially when tackling rocky terrains.
TERRAIN
Your expected driving terrain makes a big difference to the kind of suspension system you use on your 4×4. Let our experienced team advise you on the necessary vehicle height, the amount of shock absorption and the correct suspension system for your intended driving goals, whether it’s industrial work, extreme sports or accessing a weekend camping spot.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
I was down the peninsula visiting family when my car wouldn’t start one evening. Chris from Port Phillip Automotive came and checked out the car within 20 minutes, found the problem quickly and the next day had fixed it for me. Fast, reliable and great service
Daniel Kouvaras
Have been through many different mechanics over the years. Chris and Port Phillip Automotive have been the best by far. An honest company that cares about their customers and always does a great job. Will definitely continue to use their services.

My Nissan Patrol kept having engine check light come on and it would constantly go into limp mode. The car had logged several codes and Nissan told me that the car would cost approx $6000 to repair. I got a second opinion through Chris, and within 3-4 minutes he found my supposed $6000 issue, it turns it out was a loose fuel line and it was a simple fix with a $1 hose clamp. Very happy with the outcome!
