Key Suspension Components: A Closer Look
What’s part of your vehicle’s suspension system? The components are similar for most makes and models of modern cars and trucks.
Ball Joints
These flexible connections allow your wheels to move smoothly while maintaining alignment. Worn-out ball joints can lead to a wandering steering wheel and uneven tire wear.
Control Arms
These sturdy arms connect your wheels to the frame, ensuring stability and control. Damaged control arms can affect your steering and tire wear.
Bushings
These rubber cushions absorb vibrations and noise. Worn-out bushings can make your ride noisy and harsh.
Springs
These support your vehicle’s weight and absorb shocks. Weak or broken springs can cause your car to sag or handle poorly.
Shocks and Struts
These dampen vibrations and control spring movement. Worn-out shocks or struts can lead to a bouncy ride and reduced control.
Don’t Ignore the Signs!
Ignoring suspension problems can lead to more extensive and expensive damage down the road. Let our West Jordan team assess your suspension and keep you riding safely and smoothly.
Warning Signs Your Suspension Needs Attention
- A bumpy or jarring ride
- Steering wheel vibration
- Clunking or rattling noises
- Vehicle pulling to one side
- Uneven tire wear
- Nose-diving when braking or squatting when accelerating
Harsh bumps or thuds:
This sensation, known as “bottoming out,” often indicates worn shocks or struts.
Excessive Bouncing:
If your vehicle keeps bouncing after a bump, your shocks or struts may be worn out.
Nose-Diving/Squatting:
This dipping motion during braking or acceleration can signal worn shocks, weak springs, or other suspension problems
Oil Leaks:
Leaking shocks or struts are a common cause of oil on your suspension components and require immediate attention.
Why Preventative Vehicle Maintenance is Important
Taking care of your vehicle’s suspension system is an important part of preventative maintenance. Regular inspections and repairs can help extend the life of your suspension components, improve your vehicle’s handling and safety, and prevent costly repairs down the road.
Routine suspension system inspections every 50,000 miles or annually are important because they allow our certified technicians to identify and address any potential problems early on. This can help prevent more serious issues from developing, such as premature tire wear, uneven suspension wear, and damage to other components of your vehicle’s suspension system.
