The suspension connects the wheels to the body and determines how the vehicle handles uneven surfaces and maintains road contact. Knocks, bouncing or uneven tyre wear can involve different components, so this service area assesses the suspension as a connected system rather than selecting a part from a noise alone. Vehicle loading, the conditions behind the complaint and previous repairs are considered.
This category covers the suspension's springing, damping and connecting elements. Inspection helps distinguish joint wear from a damper, mounting or adjacent component problem. Maintenance decisions follow the actual condition found. Where wheel geometry or steering issues are involved, we explain how they relate to the corresponding service areas in the catalogue.
