The Job of a Car Suspension:
Maximizes the friction between the tires and the road
surface
Provide steering stability with good handling
Ensure the comfort of the passengers.
How it Works:
When a car hits a bump the suspension gear compresses that
hit in a smaller jump. What happens is that energy from the bump goes through
the wheel and wants to flow back, but shock absorbers in the suspension system
prevent this from happening. Thus, a car doesn’t go up and down after a bump,
but you only feel one small jump.
Why It is Important They Work Properly:
You car suspension is one of the most important parts on
your car. It directly effects the ride (a car's ability to smooth out a bumpy
road) and the handling(ability to safely accelerate, brake and corner). Imagine
driving with a bad suspension, especially in the Alaska terrine. Stay safe and
avoid accidents by having your suspension checked regularly.
Don't wait if you are having issues with your suspension.
