Front End & Suspension

There are a lot of systems and parts that go into your vehicle running smoothly. It’s okay to not know everything about vehicle repairs because it can be overwhelming. However, it is important to know a few things about how your vehicle functions so that you know when it may need service or repair. Below, we are going to discuss your suspension system and how it functions in your vehicle.

Here is a little bit of information about your vehicle’s suspension system so that you have some general knowledge about how this works. Below, you can also find some signs that you may need suspension services. That way, you know what to look out for when it comes to maintaining your vehicle.

What Does Your Suspension Do?

The suspension system in your vehicle helps the overall performance of your vehicle. It helps to provide you with a comfortable and safe driving experience by maximizing steering, absorbing bumps in the road, and more.

Many vehicles on the road have front wheel drive and a front end suspension. This suspension helps with smooth travel. Suspension components like shocks, struts, coil springs, control arms, sway bars, and more help to absorb the impact of the road and provide you with a smooth driving experience. However, with driving many miles and general wear and tear, some of these components will eventually experience wear or damage and need to be replaced or repaired.

How To Know If You Need Suspension Service

As discussed above, a suspension helps with the overall driving experience, including steering, handling, and the comfort of the driving/riding experience. Your suspension will need regular maintenance just from general wear and tear to your vehicle. For example, you will likely need to replace shocks or struts in your vehicle between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, and there are other repairs that may need to happen, as well. However, what you need to know is what to look out for in terms of signs your suspension may need repair.

Some signs you may need suspension service include when your vehicle no longer provides you with a smooth driving/riding experience. If you feel like your vehicle is all bumps and not a very comfortable experience, you may need your suspension checked out. Another sign would be your vehicle pulling to one side or your vehicle drifting when you turn a corner. The steering and wheel alignment are part of a well-functioning suspension, so if you are having issues, it could be a sign that you need something checked out. Another sign you may need service is if your vehicle pulls down or takes a nosedive when you apply the brakes. One other sign there may be an issue with your suspension system is unusual wear on your tires. This unusual wear could be just faster wear and tear on tires that should be occurring, or it could be that a particular area of your tires are wearing out faster than other parts of them.

It is important to keep your vehicle well-maintained to keep yourself and your passengers safe when you are on the road.
