Suspension

Your car's suspension system is a complex series of components manufactured to work together to limit the undulations and vibrations from the road surface. This provides a controlled, smooth and comfortable driving experience. If you want to maintain this comfortable experience, it's crucial to get a suspension check.

Why are suspension checks important?

Suspension checks ensure the components of your vehicle's suspension system function correctly to dampen down, cushion and absorb any impact to your car. These components include the shocks, coil springs, linkages and anti-roll bar, which work together to keep your car stable and your tyres firmly in contact with the road surface.

If you want to gain the optimum comfort, stability and handling characteristics from your car, you have to maintain a healthy vehicle suspension system. An easy way to do this is to get suspension checks regularly.

Identifying suspension problems

Vehicle suspension problems are not always obvious or evident. This is because shocks and springs gradually lose performance, which can go unseen over time and result in severe suspension problems. However, there are certain clues that can signal suspension problems, including:

• Drifting when turning
• Uneven tyre wear
• Leaking fluid
• You feel more bumps in the road during driving
• Car looks lower on one side

A more proactive approach is to schedule regular car suspension checks for your vehicle. These allow trained car suspension repair specialists like Riverside Car Sales to inspect your car quickly and identify any problems with your suspension system.
