Suspensions are designed to help maximize the amount of friction between the tires and the road. This helps make sure  the ride is more comfortable, as well as ensuring there is steering stability and good handling for the driver.

​

Roads are filled with imperfections so the suspension system must be designed to handle these and support the vehicle. The suspension helps absorb energy from the tires to allow the body and frame of the vehicle to remain stable.

​

According to the vehicle dynamics, the vehicles ride is the ability to smooth out a bumpy road, and a vehicles handling allows it to safely accelerate, corner and brake. Principles known as road isolation, road holding and cornering are important to understand and are why suspension system are so important. 

​

To maintain your suspension, regularly inspect components for wear and tear, ensure proper alignment and replace worn parts promptly. Additionally, avoid driving on rough terrain whenever possible and adhere to routine maintenance schedules.
