Suspension Service with Stanley Ford McGregor

Your vehicle’s suspension is an often-forgotten part, but it’s one of the most critical systems for safety and stability. The suspension connects to the wheels and the steering system to help you stay where you belong on the road. You can get it serviced and repaired at Stanley Ford McGregor.

How the Suspension System Performs

Your suspension system is made up of several components that connect to each other or other systems. The main components of the suspension include the following:

Springs – They hold up the load of the vehicle and keep it at the correct height
Shocks – They absorb energy when the tires hit the pavement to provide a smooth, comfortable ride
Ball joints – They allow the control arm to move
Control arm – It connects the ball joints to the steering wheel
Anti-sway bar – This part adjusts the direction of the steering wheel to fit the movement of the wheels

You have a suspension system in the front and rear, and they can be two different systems. They can be independent or dependent with the difference being whether the wheels move with the axle or independently of it.

When You Need to Get Your Suspension Checked

If you drive over a lot of gravel roads or rugged terrain, your suspension is taking a constant beating. It may need to be repaired because the components have been worn down. Here are some indications that your suspension isn’t doing its job as well as it did.

It takes longer for your vehicle to make a complete stop even though your brakes are in good condition.
You hear a squeaking or clanging sound as you drive.
The steering wheel wants to turn to the right or left even when you’re driving in a straight line.
The vehicle pulls to one side when you’re driving, and it takes more effort to keep it going where it should.
The vehicle has more bounce and sway than what is normal.

If you notice any of these problems, you should get your vehicle serviced at Stanley Ford McGregor.
