What Is Suspension, And Why Is It Vital To Your Safety?

The suspension system is what drivers think about when evaluating a vehicle's ride. Quality suspension delivers a smooth ride that reduces bumps and bouncing inside the car, even when driving on a less than perfect road surface. But what they often overlook is that the suspension also plays a significant role in the safety of the vehicle.

By eliminating the bouncing of the tires, the suspension helps keep the tire tread in constant contact with the road's surface. That is vital for you to be able to steer your car. When you drive on a very bumpy or uneven surface, you feel the steering wheel vibrate and tug from your grip. So naturally, you slow down to regain control of the vehicle. If your car's suspension is damaged, you will have the same difficulty steering and controlling the car, even on a reasonably smooth road surface.
