Suspension Repair & Wheel Alignment At V&F Auto

The suspension system is essentially a shock-absorbing system. It’s designed to make your rides more smooth and more comfortable by deterring some of the impacts from the road. In doing so, the suspension system also maximizes the friction force between the road and the tires which provides better steering and handling.

It seems simple but the suspension is a complex system of tires, air, springs, shock absorbers, struts, ball joints, bushings, control arms, and linkages that all connect to support your vehicle. This system is designed to withstand extreme forces but, if even one part breaks, it can quickly create a domino effect that leaves the rest of the pieces hanging in the balance.

Local Suspension Repair In Agawam, MA

When your suspension is in need of repair, you may notice the following symptoms:

  • An increase in the “bumpiness” of your drives
  • Strange sounds including, clunking, creaking, grunting, rattling, and knocking
  • Difficulty turning
  • Sinking or sagging along the vehicle’s frame
  • Irregular or uneven tire wear

 

Again, with all of the interconnected parts in this system, the laundry list of problems that can ensue is quite long. That’s why it’s important to seek out professional suspension repair and have the issue fixed by a trained professional as soon as you can. A car without a functioning suspension will be extremely difficult to control in an emergency and any large bumps in the road could damage other parts of the car— not to mention the uncomfortable rides that await in the meantime!
