About Exotic Auto Parts We have been supplying parts for luxury and performance vehicles to owners, workshops and wholesale customers all over the world since 2010. Our knowledgeable parts interpreters are trained to help identify the right part using vehicle details, manufacturer part numbers and VIN information as required.
However the model name alone may not be enough due to fitment variations that can occur with different model years, specifications and suspension configurations. If in doubt please send us your VIN and vehicle details through our Parts Inquiry service and we will help you.
Aston Martin Suspension Parts We Supply
Our Aston Martin catalogue includes suspension components for different vehicle applications, including:
- Control arms and wishbones
- Suspension bushes
- Ball joints
- Suspension springs
- Dampers and shock absorbers
- Spring and damper assemblies
- Suspension mounts
- Related suspension hardware
The right component will depend on the specific vehicle application. Product listings can include part numbers from manufacturers and information about how the product is used to help customers find the right part.
Control Arms and Wishbones
Control arms (sometimes called wishbones in some applications) help locate the wheel assembly relative to the vehicle chassis. Their bushes and ball joints contribute to controlled suspension movement.
It is important to check the correct position, specification and manufacturer part number before ordering as components that look alike may have different applications.
Suspension Bushes
Suspension bushes provide controlled movement between parts and help reduce vibration and road noise. Worn or damaged bushes can affect suspension behaviour and may also lead to uneven tyre wear or changes in handling.
Ball Joints
Ball joints allow some movement between the suspension parts they connect. They are part of the suspension and steering system so it’s important to fit them correctly when replaced.
Springs
The suspension springs support the vehicle and help set ride height and suspension behaviour. Spring specifications will vary from application to application and it is important to properly identify the vehicle.
Dampers and Shock Absorbers
The dampers control the movement of suspension after bumps, braking, acceleration and changes of the surface of the road. Worn damper can impact ride quality and vehicle control.
When replacing dampers - always check the correct application for the vehicle and if the component required is supplied as an individual part or as part of an assembly.
Our Experience With Aston Martin Parts
Exotic Auto Parts was founded in 2010 and specialises in parts sourcing for performance and luxury cars. We cater for retail customers as well as wholesale resellers or repair shops and have an experienced parts team to assist with difficult parts enquiries.
This is particularly useful when dealing with specialist Aston Martin parts.
Suspension parts can be very similar to other parts but can be used in different applications, different positions or have a different manufacturer part number. We don’t just go on looks, we gather the vehicle information needed to research the right part.
If a customer cannot locate a component in our catalogue, they can utilise our Parts Inquiry service and submit details including vehicle model, year, VIN, part number, photographs, or supporting documents.
Aston Martin Suspension Parts by Model
Suspension requirements vary throughout the Aston Martin range. Depending on the catalogue application, suspension parts may be available for models including:
- DB7
- DB9
- DBS
- V8 Vantage
- V12 Vantage
- Virage
- Vanquish
- Rapide
- DB11
- Vantage
- Other Aston Martin applications
The model name should be the basis for fitment and not the final confirmation.
Suspension listings can be for specific models and positions, for example. This is why it is important to check the manufacturer part number and the vehicle details when choosing Aston Martin suspension parts.
How We Check Aston Martin Suspension Fitment
Our fitment process focuses on gathering the information needed before assuming that a component is suitable.
- Vehicle model
Identify the exact Aston Martin model.
- Production year
Confirm the relevant production period.
- Suspension component
Identify whether you require a control arm, bush, ball joint, spring, damper or another component.
- Manufacturer part number
If you already have a part number, provide it with your enquiry.
- Vehicle specification
Where applicable, check the relevant engine, trim or suspension configuration.
- Component position
Confirm whether the part is for the front or rear and left or right side where applicable.
- VIN verification
If additional confirmation is required, provide your vehicle VIN through our Parts Enquiry service.
This approach helps reduce the risk of selecting a component simply because it appears visually similar.
Why Correct Suspension Fitment Matters
Suspension components combine to control how the wheels move, vehicle stability and ride behaviour. Using the wrong part can cause issues with installation or can cause the suspension system to not work as intended.
An accurate fitment can also prevent ordering a part that needs to be returned due to it not fitting the vehicle.
For this reason, we suggest to check-
Model + year + specification + part number + position + VIN where required
before purchasing specialist suspension components.
Signs Your Aston Martin Suspension May Need Inspection
Possible signs of suspension wear or damage include:
- Excessive bouncing
- Knocking or clunking noises
- Uneven tyre wear
- Changes in steering response
- Excessive body movement
- Uneven ride height
- Damaged or leaking suspension components
- Increased vibration
- Changes in ride quality
These symptoms do not automatically identify a specific failed part. A qualified inspection should be used to establish the underlying problem as several suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Genuine, OEM and Aftermarket Suspension Parts
When purchasing Aston Martin suspension parts, it is important to know what type of product you are buying.
Genuine parts supplied as original manufacturer components.
OEM parts are produced by the original equipment manufacturer . OEM does not mean that the component has the branding of the vehicle manufacturer.
Aftermarket parts are manufactured by independent companies either to substitute original parts or to boost performance.
Exotic Auto Parts carries OEM manufacturer parts and a few select performance and replacement items. Always refer to the individual product description for details of the exact product type and application.
