A 4x4 suspension upgrade involves enhancing the components of a four-wheel-drive vehicle's suspension system to improve its performance, handling, and comfort. This upgrade typically includes replacing or modifying parts such as shock absorbers, springs, struts, and control arms. Upgrades might also involve the installation of lift kits, sway bars, and bushings designed to increase ground clearance, support heavier loads, and provide better stability and traction.

Car owners choose to upgrade their 4x4 suspension for several reasons:

Off-Road Capability: For enthusiasts who enjoy off-roading, a suspension upgrade allows the vehicle to handle rough terrains, steep inclines, and uneven surfaces more effectively. Enhanced suspension components can absorb shocks and impacts better, reducing the risk of damage and improving ride comfort.

Load Handling: For those using their 4x4s to carry heavy loads or tow trailers, upgrading the suspension can provide better support and stability. This helps in maintaining control and preventing sagging or bottoming out, which can be common with the stock suspension under heavy loads.

Improved Ride Quality: Upgrading the suspension can result in a smoother and more comfortable driving experience, both on and off-road. Quality suspension components can better dampen vibrations and bumps, making long drives more enjoyable.

Increased Ground Clearance: A suspension lift increases the height of the vehicle's body from the ground, allowing for larger tyres and better clearance over obstacles. This is particularly beneficial for off-road driving where higher ground clearance reduces the risk of underbody damage.

Customisation and Performance: Enthusiasts often upgrade their suspension to customise their vehicle’s look and performance. Better handling and stability not only improve safety but also enhance the overall driving experience.

In addition to essential components, a 4x4 vehicle can be equipped with various extra items to enhance its functionality and safety. Towing airbags can be installed to stiffen or soften the suspension, improving handling while towing, although they do not increase towing capacity. Bull bars offer front-end protection against impacts, and LED driving lights enhance visibility during night driving or in poor weather conditions. Tow bars facilitate the attachment of trailers or other loads, while electric brake controllers provide improved braking efficiency and safety when towing. These additions can significantly enhance the overall performance and versatility of a 4x4 vehicle.

As the temperature decreases, the necessity of ensuring your vehicle's battery is operating at its optimum capacity becomes critical. Low temperatures can adversely affect car batteries, resulting in start-up challenges and potentially stranding drivers. To prevent such issues, Autoworx located in North Geelong emphasises the importance of conducting a car battery inspection before the winter season. Our thorough examination prepares your vehicle for the approaching colder weather, guaranteeing its dependability and safety.

The chemical reactions within a car battery are significantly hampered by cold temperatures, greatly diminishing its power retention and delivery capabilities. A battery that functions well in warm conditions may fail to supply the necessary energy to start your car under cooler conditions. This diminished performance can accelerate wear and, in severe cases, lead to failure when it is least expected.

What is the Impact of Cold Temperatures on Batteries?

At Autoworx, our pre-winter battery evaluation includes a review of several critical elements to assess your battery's condition and confirm your vehicle's dependability:

Battery Voltage and Charge: Testing the battery's charge retention capability, a crucial health metric.

Battery Terminals and Cables: Checking for any corrosion or damage that could impair electrical conduction.

Battery Case Condition: Inspecting for any physical damage or leakage that could influence performance.

Battery Age: Considering the natural decline in a battery's efficiency over time to estimate its remaining service life.

Our battery assessments often reveal issues such as:

Reduced Charging Capacity: Suggesting an imminent need for battery replacement.

Corrosion on Battery Terminals: Which can hinder efficient power delivery.

Damaged Cables or Connectors: Resulting in suboptimal electrical connections.

Cracks or Swelling in the Battery Case: Indicators of physical deterioration or potential safety risks.

Should your battery require replacement, Autoworx carries an extensive selection of the most commonly needed sizes of batteries suitable for a variety of vehicles, including 4x4s, SUVs, and Stop-Start batteries. Furthermore, if the issue is not confined to the battery, our technicians are capable of conducting diagnostic evaluations on the alternator, starter motor, and other vital components to accurately diagnose any problems.

This proactive approach is key to preventing unexpected failures and guaranteeing your vehicle is winter-ready.
