Steering & Suspension
Driving all year round can be tough on your suspension and steering from the suprise potholes in the spring to the snowy roads in the winter. After putting your vehicle through all our northern climate, it may not suprise you that your car may show signs of wear. So if you notice your car is no longer gliding over rough terrain or pulling to one side of the road, this could be a sign that something is wrong with your steering or suspension. If you suspect an issue with your suspension or steering, give us a call at Caspian Mechanical so we can quickly inspect your vehicle.
Elements of a Comfortable Ride
When you are driving down the road, you expect a smooth, comfortable drive. The suspension system is the component on your vehicle that is responsible for this quiet, gentle ride. It absorbs the shock of the road keeping the car from bouncing up and down and links the car to the wheels. The suspension system is also responsible for the wheels’ traction on the road. This makes it easier to keep the car on the road when driving.
The suspension and steering systems are directly related to each other. While the suspension system ensures a comfortable ride, the steering system grants the driver guidance while driving the vehicle. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that you are most familiar with, and it is connected to the suspension system through the steering column and pivoted joints.
