How the Suspension Works

Your suspension system includes multiple parts with each one doing an important job. The parts work together and with other systems to ensure a smooth ride. The parts that make up your suspension include:

• Ball joints allow the control arm to pivot
• Control arm connects the ball joints to the steering wheel
• Springs help control the load of the vehicle and the height
• Shocks absorb much of the energy from the tires as they make contact with the road
• Anti-sway bar changes the movement of the steering wheel to adjust to the wheels and provides stability

Your vehicle has a suspension system in both the front and rear of the vehicle. Many of the modern systems are independent, which means the wheels move independently of the axle.

When Your Suspension Needs to be Repaired

While a suspension system usually doesn’t need a lot of repairs, it can become worn down over time. If you travel over gravel roads or rough terrain, it can cause certain components to be damaged. There are signs that your suspension system needs attention.

• Your vehicle takes longer to come to a complete stop even though you’ve had your brakes inspected.
• You hear a squeak or clanging sound.
• The steering wheel is turned to the right or left when you’re traveling in a straight line.
• Your vehicle pulls to one side as you’re driving down the road.
• The vehicle moves from side to side or has a bounce to it that wasn’t there before.

If you notice these issues when you’re driving, you need to schedule service for your suspension with Stanley Ford Eastland.

Stay Safe with a Working Suspension

Your suspension system plays an important role in keeping you safe. When the suspension isn’t working correctly, it can put you at a higher risk for an accident. You may not be able to stop as quickly, which could lead to a collision. You’re also more likely to have a rollover if you’re in an accident because the vehicle is less stable.
High winds or winding roads can cause more issues when you’re driving around Cisco, Ranger, and Eastland with a bad suspension. Because of the extra sway in the vehicle, it isn’t as stable and can roll more easily.
