How the Suspension System Works
Your vehicle’s suspension system helps absorb road impact and keep your tires in contact with the road.
It includes components such as:
- Shocks and struts
- Springs
- Control arms and bushings
- Ball joints
These parts work together to provide a stable, controlled ride.
