Your car's suspension system is responsible for smoothing out the ride and keeping the car in control. Specifically, the suspension system maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and good handling. The suspension system also provides comfort for passengers by limiting the impact of particular road conditions to not only the car, but the passengers riding inside.
Worn suspension components may reduce the stability of the vehicle and reduce driver control, as well as accelerate wear on other suspension system components. Replacing worn or inadequate shocks and struts will help maintain good ride control, as they provide consistent handling and braking, help keep the tyres in contact with the road, and reduce wear on tyres and other vehicle systems.
Remember, just because your car drives after an accident doesn’t mean it’s safe to drive, even after the most minor collision. Even the slightest fender-bender can have a nasty domino effect on the health of your vehicle. If steering is difficult, your car is pulling to one side while driving, one side corner of the car is sitting low, or just feeling too many bumps in the road could all be indications that your car’s suspension requires immediate attention. To keep your car's suspension system in optimal shape, bring your car to United Tyres, and our experts will walk you through the best and cheapest options to get you safely and comfortably back on the road.
