USED Suspension and Parts
The suspension is a cohesive system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connect the vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. It is charged with supporting both road holding/handling and ride quality.
The task of maximizing the friction between the tires and the ground is at odds with providing driving comfort and absorbing shocks from bumps on the road. It follows that the suspension system is subject to a lot of stress while driving and some parts are bound to wear out with time.
The signs of a problem in the suspension part would bring about poor wheel alignment specially in potholes and curbs where they get knocked off. Correction of the wheel is just a temporary resolved to the real problem that lies in the damaged spring.
Shock absorbers contain a liquid that keeps the vehicle from bouncing, if the fluid starts leaking from some damage then you will find the car shaking a lot.
A knocking sound in the Struts calls for trouble with the vehicle, especially in cars, SUVs and trucks.
Springs hold the weight of the vehicle and they either sag or break. The sinking height of a car corners is a sheer give away.
The ball joints act like shock absorbers in up and down and rotation movement of the car. A problem with this part will bring out a squeaking sound.
The control arm holds the wheel to the frame and connects with the steering wheel. Front wheel drives are prone to worn out than rear wheel drive.
Servicing, repairing and replacing on a regular basis are essential as a damaged or broken suspension will not only make the ride rough and uncomfortable for the passengers, but will also make the vehicle difficult to handle, especially at high speeds. The car can bounce, roll and even spin out of control. In each of these situations if repair is not possible then a replacement is the only option.
