Suspension, Steering & Shock Absorbers

Taking Control: Discover how the suspension of your car works.

Your vehicle's steering, control and brakes can all be affected by the type and condition of your suspension and shock absorbers.

On a daily basis, you and your passengers depend on the performance and comfort of your car’s suspension system. Did you know that suspension keeps the inside of your car relatively undisturbed, even when you’re travelling over rough terrain? And did you know that the control you get from the suspension helps keep your tyres in contact with the road, keeping you and your passengers safe?

Let’s explore further and see what the suspension of your car can do to make driving smooth, quiet, and safe. And while we’re at it, you’ll have control over the minimum brake pressure and minimum acceleration to maintain the power of your engine and take turns without taking risks.

6 Functions of a car suspension system:

  • To maintain correct vehicle ride height
  • To reduce the effect of shock forces
  • To maintain correct wheel alignment
  • To support vehicle weight
  • To keep the tyres in contact with the road
  • To control the vehicle's direction of travel
