Understanding the Role of Suspension in Vehicle Performance

Your vehicle's suspension plays a critical role in its overall safety and handling performance. A car's vital suspension components like Shock Absorbers, Springs, Control Arms and mounts all contribute to how your car feels on the road, how much grip it has, how much weight it can safely carry or tow, and even how long its tyres will last before wearing out. If any of your vehicle's suspension components are damaged or worn, it could result in poor handling, reduced grip and unpredictable control especially in poor conditions or on rough roads. Your car's wheel alignment may also fall out of factory specifications if its suspension parts are not working correctly, resulting in increased tyre wear. 

Signs Your Suspension Needs Attention

Common signs your suspension needs attention include knocking sounds coming from the front or rear of the vehicle, uneven or increased tyre wear, sagging suspension, unpredictable handling or reduced control and poor steering feel. Four-wheel drive suspension can also require an upgrade if you frequently tow or carry a lot of weight as the factory suspension is not designed for constant loads and can sag over time. Adding heavy-duty springs and shock absorbers can help to correct this sagging and improve your vehicle's handling and control when loaded.
