Quick answer
Suspension repair at Metre Per Second in Hyderabad starts at ₹2,500 per shock absorber, ₹800 per control-arm bush and ₹1,500 per ball joint, with a typical all-four-corners refresh including computerised alignment landing between ₹12,000 and ₹25,000. Every job begins with a free 16-point inspection on the lift and ends with a Hunter four-wheel alignment, because new arms and bushes change the geometry. Get it checked when you hear a clunk over speed breakers, the car wanders on the ORR, or the inner shoulder of a tyre is wearing faster than the rest.
How Metre Per Second Performs Suspension Repair
- Free Suspension Inspection: Bring your car or get free pickup. We do a 16-point suspension check on a lift — shocks, bushes, ball joints, tie rods, springs, alignment.
- Transparent Quote on WhatsApp: Get a written quote with photos / videos of the issue, recommended parts (OEM or aftermarket), and final price. No pressure, no hidden charges.
- Repair by Specialist Mechanics: Suspension work done by mechanics with 8+ years experience. OEM-spec torque values, anti-seize on all bolts, and rust-prevention coating included.
- Road Test on Broken Surfaces: Before alignment we drive the car over speed breakers and rough stretches near KPHB with the windows down, so any remaining clunk, knock or body roll is caught while the car is still on our floor — not on your commute.
- 4-Wheel Alignment on Hunter Machine: New arms, bushes, tie rods and struts all change the geometry, so every suspension job ends with a computerized 4-wheel alignment. We set camber, caster and toe to OEM spec and hand you the printed before-and-after sheet.
- Handover with 12-Month Warranty: You get the alignment printout, the old parts back if you want them, and a 12-month / 15,000 km warranty on parts and labour written on the bill. Free drop anywhere in Hyderabad, plus a free re-check after 1,000 km.

Metre Per Second vs Authorised Dealer
Shock absorber replacement per pair costs ₹5,000 – ₹14,000 at our KPHB workshop against ₹12,000 – ₹28,000 at a dealer; a control-arm bush set is ₹3,000 – ₹6,000 against ₹8,000 – ₹15,000. Diagnosis, quote and 4-wheel alignment are free with the repair, and you choose the shock brand — KYB, Gabriel, Monroe, Bilstein or OEM — rather than being restricted to a single OEM part.
Shock Absorber Brands We Stock
KYB (OEM supplier to Maruti, Toyota and Hyundai — closest to factory feel), Gabriel India (best value for city driving), Monroe (highway comfort), Bilstein (performance SUVs and luxury cars) and genuine OEM parts. We recommend by usage and budget, not by margin.

- Visible oil film or wet streaks on the shock absorber body

Technical terms explained
The suspension repair terms that appear on our estimates, job cards and diagnostic reports — in plain English, written by the technicians who use them.
- MacPherson strut
- A suspension design where the damper is a structural member: the strut carries the coil spring, locates the wheel and pivots on a top mount bearing when you steer. Because the damper is doing structural work, a leaking strut affects steering feel and tyre wear, not just comfort. A worn top mount bearing produces the classic creak or clunk heard when turning the wheel while parked.
- Control arm bush
- The rubber-and-steel sleeve that lets a control arm pivot while isolating road noise from the body shell. Hyderabad's potholes and heat crack the rubber, letting the arm shift under braking so the car tramlines, wanders and eats the inner shoulder of the tyre. Bushes are frequently the true cause of a 'clunk over speed breakers' that other workshops fix by selling a complete arm.
- Ball joint
- The spherical bearing connecting the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to steer and travel vertically at the same time. Once the boot splits, grit destroys the grease and the joint develops play you can feel as a knock over broken surfaces. A ball joint that separates completely collapses the corner of the car, so measurable play is always a safety failure, never a 'monitor it' item.
- Camber, caster and toe
- The three wheel-alignment angles: camber is wheel lean viewed from the front, caster is steering-axis tilt viewed from the side, and toe is whether the wheels point inward or outward from above. Toe error destroys tyres fastest — a couple of millimetres out can scrub a tyre bald in 8,000 km. Alignment must always be reset after replacing arms, bushes, tie rods or struts, which is why we include it with suspension work.
Suspension Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does suspension repair cost in Hyderabad?
Shock absorber replacement starts at ₹2,500 per piece, control arm bushes at ₹800 per bush, ball joints at ₹1,500, and 4-wheel alignment at ₹600. A typical 'all four shocks + bushes + alignment' job for a hatchback or sedan at Metre Per Second is between ₹12,000 – ₹25,000 depending on the brand of shock absorbers (KYB, Gabriel, Monroe, Bilstein, or OEM). This is roughly 40% cheaper than authorized dealers in Hyderabad.
How long does suspension repair take?
Most suspension jobs are completed same-day at Metre Per Second. Shock absorber replacement (all four) takes 4–6 hours including alignment. Control arm or ball joint replacement takes 3–5 hours. Complete suspension overhaul (shocks + bushes + tie rods + alignment) takes 1–2 working days. We provide WhatsApp updates throughout.
Which shock absorber brand is best for my car?
It depends on your car and driving style. KYB is OEM supplier for Maruti, Toyota, Hyundai and gives the closest-to-factory feel. Gabriel India is the best value-for-money for city driving. Monroe is preferred for highway-comfort cars. Bilstein is the premium choice for performance SUVs and luxury cars. We stock all brands and recommend the right one for your usage and budget — no upselling.
Do you provide free pickup and drop in Hyderabad?
Yes, free pickup and drop is available across Hyderabad including KPHB, Kukatpally, Miyapur, Madhapur, Hitec City, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Begumpet, Ameerpet, Manikonda, Financial District, Mehdipatnam and surrounding areas. Just WhatsApp +91-8555824915 with your location and we will confirm a pickup slot within 30 minutes.
What is the warranty on suspension parts?
Metre Per Second provides a 12-month / 15,000 km warranty on all suspension parts and labour, whichever comes first. Shock absorbers, struts, bushes, ball joints and tie rod ends are all covered. The warranty is honoured at our workshop on KPHB Road and is independent of any kilometre limit on car warranty from the manufacturer.
Do you do 4-wheel alignment after suspension repair?
Yes — 4-wheel computerized alignment on a Hunter / Hofmann machine is included FREE with every front suspension repair (shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods, control arms). This is essential because any change to suspension geometry alters camber, caster and toe angles, and skipping alignment causes premature tyre wear within 2,000 km.
How do I know if my shock absorbers need replacement?
Common signs are: (1) Excessive bouncing — car bounces 2 or more times after a speed bump, (2) Nose-diving — front drops sharply during hard braking, (3) Visible oil leak on the shock body, (4) Clunking or knocking noise from suspension, (5) Uneven tyre wear especially on the inside or outside edge, (6) Steering vibration at 60–100 km/h. If you notice any of these, WhatsApp us for a free 16-point suspension inspection.
Do you repair air suspension / airmatic on luxury cars?
Yes, but Mercedes AIRMATIC, BMW Air Suspension, Audi Adaptive Air, Land Rover EAS and Porsche PASM are handled by our dedicated air-suspension cell. See our specialised page at /airmatic-suspension-repair for technologies covered, pricing and supported models. For all other (conventional steel-spring / hydraulic) suspension, this page is the right one.
Where is Metre Per Second located in Hyderabad?
Metre Per Second workshop is at Plot No. M-8, Mahadevpuram, KPHB Road, Kukatpally, Hyderabad – 500055. We are 1 km from KPHB Metro, 4 km from Miyapur, 8 km from Madhapur and 11 km from Gachibowli. Open Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 8 PM. Sunday by appointment.
Can I get a quote on WhatsApp before bringing the car?
Absolutely. WhatsApp +91-8555824915 with your car make, model, year, fuel type and a short description of the symptom (or a video / audio clip of the noise). Our specialists will give you a likely diagnosis range and an upper-bound quote within 30 minutes during workshop hours, so you have full visibility before you bring the car in.
