The Role of the Suspension System
The suspension system supports the weight of the vehicle and provides for a smoother ride for the driver and passengers. But suspension systems also protect your vehicle from damage and play a critical role in maintaining safe driving conditions. A well functioning suspension system shields a vehicle from excessive wear and potential structural damage associated with prolonged exposure to bumps and pot holes but also keeps the wheels pressed firmly to the ground for traction.
