Hi Maria, it is important to regularly check the suspension components such as shocks, struts, and bushings for any signs of wear and tear. It is also recommended to get an alignment every 6 months to ensure the suspension is in proper alignment. Additionally, avoid driving over rough roads as much as possible to prevent excessive strain on the suspension.

Hey Maria, a common reason for suspension issues in Vauxhall Astra is worn-out control arm bushings. These should be replaced every 50,000 miles. Also, make sure to use high-quality shock absorbers to ensure a smooth ride and better long-term performance.

Hi Maria, I had a similar issue with my Astra and had to replace the sway bar links. Make sure to also check the sway bar bushings for any signs of wear and replace if necessary. Regularly checking and maintaining these components will help prolong the lifespan of your suspension.
