SuspensionInspection

Suspension inspection at PRO SERVICE (Batumi, Airport Highway 212): we put the car on a lift, check suspension, steering and brakes component by component. Then we tell you what needs replacing now and what can wait. Price from … GEL, takes 30-60 min. You get a prioritized list of faults and an estimate.

When to come in

• Knocking or thuds over potholes, speed bumps and cobblestones.
• Creaking when turning the wheel at a standstill or driving over bumps.
• A hum that grows with speed — often a wheel bearing.
• Clicking when turning under throttle — a classic outer CV joint symptom.
• Play in the steering, the car wanders or pulls to one side.
• Uneven tire wear, the body keeps bouncing after a bump.
• Before buying a used car or before a long trip on mountain roads.

What we check

• Shock absorbers — oil leaks, dust boots and bump stops, strut mounts.
• Control arms and bushings — cracked or torn rubber, arm movement under load.
• Ball joints — axial and radial play with a pry bar, boot condition.
• Sway bar links and bushings — the most common cause of a light rattle.
• CV joints and driveshafts — boots (a torn boot means the joint will fail soon), play.
• Wheel bearings — wheel play, noise when spinning.
• Tie rods, tie rod ends and the steering rack — play, leaks.
• Springs — cracks, sagging, broken coils.
• Brakes — pad thickness, disc condition, hoses.

How it works

1. A short talk: when and where the noise appears, at what speed.
2. Inspection on the lift with the wheels hanging and under load.
3. If needed, a test drive together with you to hear the same noise.
4. A list: what is worn, how urgent it is, what affects safety. An estimate for parts and labor.

Adjara roads — potholes, switchbacks, cobblestones in the old town — load the suspension harder than a smooth highway. The humid sea climate makes bolts seize and rubber parts break down sooner. On imported used cars we often find several worn components at once.
