Information

What is a suspension?

A suspension system insulates a vehicle's passengers from road noise and vibrations and also protects the vehicle from excessive vibration. It consists of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connect a vehicle to the wheels.

How can I tell if something is wrong with the suspension?

If the vehicle wanders from side to side or makes a clunking noise over bumps, the suspension bushings may be worn and will need to be replaced. Too much bouncing over bumps could indicate worn shocks or a leaf spring. Some problems are simple, and before replacing parts, it's a good idea to check for loose nuts and mounting bolts. Another likely suspects of suspension problems are low tire pressure or worn tires or wheels out of balance.
