Suspension diagnostics under load in Wrocław
Suspension knocking, but no obvious cause?
We use vibration platforms to reproduce movements that can reveal the problem. Microphones attached to suspension components help locate the source of the noise.
Diagnose first — instead of replacing parts by trial and error.
Vibration platforms + microphones.
Repairs and parts priced separately.

Do these symptoms sound familiar?
Tell us when the noise occurs. This helps us choose how to check your car.
- Knocking over bumps or speed humps.
- Dull impacts at the front or rear with a source that is hard to identify.
- Squeaking or cracking as the suspension moves.
- Noise that occurs only occasionally or under a particular load.
- A routine inspection reveals no cause, yet the knocking continues while driving.
- Parts have already been replaced, but the noise remains or has returned.
How do we locate the knocking?
We establish when the problem occurs
We ask about the road surface, speed and situations in which you hear the noise. Previous repairs also matter.
We check the suspension on vibration platforms
We introduce vibrations into the wheels and suspension to try to reproduce the reported symptom under controlled conditions.
We compare sounds from the microphones
Sensors on selected components help narrow down where the noise originates. We verify the findings before recommending repairs.
The station cannot reproduce every driving situation. If we cannot reproduce the symptom, we explain the findings and agree on the next steps — without replacing parts by trial and error.
Diagnosis first.
Repairs next.
We start by looking for the cause of the noise and checking what actually needs repair.
We agree on the scope and cost of any further work with you before starting.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the free express check?
No. This is a separate, detailed investigation of a specific noise using vibration platforms and microphones, priced at 250 zł. The basic suspension, joint and bush inspection remains a separate service at 100 zł.
Does 250 zł include repairs?
No. The price covers diagnostics and an explanation of the findings. Parts and any repairs are priced separately and agreed with you before work starts.
What if the knocking happens only occasionally?
Describe when you hear it when booking. We will try to reproduce the symptom at the station. Not every noise can be reproduced during a visit; in that case, we explain what we checked and agree on the next steps.
Is this just a basic play-detector check?
This service focuses on finding the source of a noise, combining vibration platforms with diagnostic microphones. It is more than a basic check for play or a shock absorber test alone.
