Description:
Suspension components typically include springs, shocks, struts, bushings, control arms, strut rods, and the sway bar.
Purpose:
Suspension components are responsible for maintaining the
relationship between the wheels and the frame or unibody.
The suspension system interacts directly with the steering system to provide
vehicle control.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions:
Your vehicle’s suspension system should be checked regularly, at least once
a year, along with a complete wheel alignment. Worn or damaged
suspension system components can cause wandering, pulling, erratic steering, excessive tire
wear, leaning, bottoming out, or poor ride
and handling. To get professional help with your car’s suspension
system, contact a qualified service technician.
