Australia’s Leading Drivetrain, Underbody, and Power Transmission Services

Servicing off-highway vehicles requires a deep understanding of its power transmission systems and configurations. Having associated ourselves with mining companies and the mining industry for years, we’ve gained a thorough understanding of the inner workings of most off-highway vehicles and machinery. This enables us to provide a variety of services for off-highway powertrains. This includes the repair and replacement of parts such as driveshafts, universal joints, axles, differentials and many other components from major brands and models.

In particular, Driveline specialises in the following types of off-highway vehicles:

After decades of providing suspension services for a wide variety of vehicles and transport options, we realised that there was still a lot to be desired when it came to modern suspension systems. That’s why we decided to create our own line of high-quality suspension, which we call Durashock.

The Durashock Suspension System combines extensive research and testing with customer feedback and our unparalleled industry experience and expertise. The result is a rugged, reliable, and high performing suspension system that delivers all the features and benefits that our customers want.

We offer a comprehensive range of parts and services for our Durashock system, including shock absorbers, 4WD suspension, coil springs, GVM upgrades, and leaf springs.

A GVM upgrade is a common feature in Australia, thanks to its ability to increase your vehicle’s maximum operational load. In recent years, however, we’ve noticed that most upgrade kits today end up compromising the performance of your vehicle. That is, despite increasing the load you can carry, other aspects of your vehicle’s performance suffer. Factors like your vehicle’s handling, standard height, and ride performance are often negatively impacted by many of today’s upgrade kits.

Based on customer feedback and our extensive research and experience, we’ve developed our own GVM upgrade, which we’ve incorporated into our patented Durashock Suspension System.

We call it the SMART GVM, and it stands for:

• Superior Load Carrying Capacity
• Minimal Height Increase
• All Round Comfort
• Real Safety Benefits
• Tested & Federally Certified

Our SMART GVM Upgrade is the system our customers and Driveline have been looking for all along, minimising height increases while maximising passenger comfort and vehicle performance.
