Your vehicles suspension is one of the most important vehicle systems both from a comfort, control and safety perspective. It is your suspension system that makes your ride comfortable, allows you to steer your car and minimizes damage to the rest of your vehicle by absorbing the bumps in the road you drive over tens of thousands of times a day. Do you remember the soap box car or go cart you built as a kid and how rough the ride was? Without your vehicles suspension your ride would be just as rough. Vehicle suspension is something we take for granted but it is something you should have checked regularly for wear and tear or problems. To see the components of your vehicle suspension system check out this video on our Car Maintenance pageWarning signs that your vehicle suspension system has a problem:
