Suspension Repair in Spring, Texas

Your Vehicle’s Suspension System Explained

The Purpose

Did you ever stop to wonder why your vehicle has a suspension system? First, it keeps you and your passengers comfortable. Imagine hitting a bump and being bounced upward such that you bang your head on the ceiling. Think how awful it would be to feel every pebble along the roadway. Your auto’s suspension allows it to float over life’s rough patches that would otherwise cause a constant beating on your body. Second, the suspension system allows you to control the car’s motion reasonably. Extreme jolts could make your tires jump up off the roadway. How dangerous is that? Also, the suspension gives you much more measured control over steering and cornering, greatly improving safe handling.

The Function

Now that you know what the suspension system does, maybe you’re wondering how it does that? It’s important to note that no component acts alone. That’s why it’s called a system. The various components work together to create a balance. While there are some industry standards, you have the opportunity for some input into the set-up of your suspension system. The suspension parts work together to create comfort and handling. Generally, the more comfortable the ride experience (in terms of feeling as if one is floating on a cloud with no jolts), the less handling control the driver will have. Conversely, the better the handling, the less creature friendly the ride becomes. Thus, balance is key. That’s where you have some control. If you’re more interested in comfort, you’ll want a package that leans more that way. If you’re into high-performance, hairpin turns, and crazy cornering, you will want to opt for a system that reflects that driving style. The balance is created by components that keep each other in check. Shocks/struts and springs, for example, work in unison to produce adequate flexibility as you cross bumps while dampening the motion to keep it in check.
