A car's suspension system is extremely technical, with the parts attached to each other.
When you perform loads of commuting and covers many long distance travel everyday, the vehicle might sooner or later require realignment.
When driving, a vehicle's shocks are always in use. Like many other car components, overtime this continuous use will lead to general wear and tear and they'll lose their ability to function properly. There are signs you need new shocks that are right under your nose.
Having a squeaky suspension can be one of the most frustrating problems to have in any vehicle. Every time you go over even the smallest bump, or make a turn, you have to deal with the squeak or creak of your suspension.
Leaf springs are likely to wear because they have several moving parts. They should be inspected at intervals specified by the car manufacturer, or at major service intervals - usually every 12,000 miles (20,000 km).
Have you noticed how quiet and smooth most modern cars feel to something a few years older? Drivers are being increasingly isolated from the road with soft rubber, liquid filled mounts, and sound deadening. This is done to reduce what's called noise, vibration, and harshness, or NVH, and the downside is often a reduction in handling performance and response.
Every automotive suspension uses some type of energy-absorbing device - usually either coil , leaf springs, torsion bars or the MacPherson strut - to hold the car up on its wheels. Most cars today use MacPherson strut suspension in front on the unibody designed vehicles. Older rear wheel drive vehicles used coil springs in front.
Regular maintenance of your vehicle is suggested for outstanding operation of your vehicle that provides you a safety life.
