Suspension

• we replace shock absorbers
• we replace the front and rear bearings
• we replace the rubber covers of the joint
• we replace the ends of the pin
• we replace the suspension arm bushings
• we check the shock absorber test by computer

The car’s suspension transfers the forces generated at the contact point between the wheel and the road to the body. Good suspension ensures driving comfort, stability and safety. The suspension includes:

• wishbones
• transverse and longitudinal bars
• coil springs
• leaf springs
• shock absorbers

Every time you feel a loss of vehicle stability, worse driving, or notice irregular tire tread wear, or increased braking distance – contact a mechanic!!

More information about the suspension:

Car suspension is a complex mechanism. It consists of many parts that work together. The suspension connects the wheels to the rest of the vehicle.

In winter, when there are many more potholes than usual on the roads, the components responsible for suppressing unevenness are more exposed to damage.

Their wear is additionally increased by low temperatures and salt used to sprinkle the road. Many suspension elements are made of rubber and Teflon, which harden and crack in such conditions.

Regardless of the component, the most common symptom of suspension failure is a knock coming from the wheel area. The exception is shock absorbers, the wear of which is manifested by rocking the car on uneven surfaces. You need to drive to the service whenever the car behaves differently than usual. Changes in its handling, tapping, or the feeling of floating on unevenness should be a concern.

Usually, it is enough to lift the car on a lift to make a diagnosis. Having access to the suspension, the mechanic will very quickly determine the source of the problem.

It breaks down most of the time

Pin – is an element connecting the swingarm with the steering knuckle. It works all the time while driving. He is most bothered by bumps on a long stretch of road, regardless of whether the car is going straight or turning

Tie rod end – responsible for connecting the steering knuckle with the steering gear. What he dislikes the most is overcoming potholes when turning.

Stabilizer link – located between the McPherson strut and the stabilizer bar. It is the worst when driving over potholes during turns and U-turns.

Rocker arm – this is the main part in which bushings and pins are mounted. Some manufacturers press them in permanently, so in the event of a failure, the entire swingarm must be replaced. Often, however, individual components can be replaced separately

Shock absorber – an element responsible for the stable overcoming of unevenness by cars. The most common shock absorber failures are oil or gas filling its centre. The wear of shock absorbers is most often manifested by the car floating on uneven surfaces. Typically, the shock absorber easily lasts about 50,000. miles
