What Is Your Suspension System?

More Than Just Comfort


Vehicle Stability and Control

The suspension keeps your tires in contact with the road surface, even over bumps and uneven terrain. This contact is essential for steering control, braking effectiveness, and overall vehicle stability.

Weight Distribution

The suspension evenly distributes vehicle weight across all four tires, ensuring balanced handling and preventing excessive wear on any single tire or component.

Passenger Comfort

By isolating the cabin from road imperfections, the suspension provides a smooth, comfortable ride for all passengers.

What Counts as "Severe" Driving?

Suspension components absorb the energy from bumps, potholes, and road irregularities, preventing harsh impacts from reaching the vehicle's frame and passengers.

Steering Response

Working with the steering system, your suspension allows precise directional control and predictable handling characteristics
