Your vehicle's suspension is made up of several components that work together to keep the vehicle stable, maintain tire contact with the road and absorb bumps and uneven surfaces.
Over time, components can wear out or become damaged from everyday driving, potholes, rough roads and general vehicle wear.

Your suspension does much more than make the ride comfortable. It helps control how your vehicle responds to bumps, turns, braking and changing road conditions.
A properly functioning suspension helps:
Maintain vehicle stability
Keep the tires in contact with the road
Improve ride comfort
Control excessive bouncing and body movement
Support predictable steering and handling
Maintain control during braking and cornering
There isn't one replacement interval that applies to every suspension system.
How quickly components wear depends on your vehicle, mileage, driving habits, road conditions and the individual suspension components.
Calgary's potholes, uneven roads, winter conditions and temperature changes can also be tough on vehicles.
Rather than replacing suspension components based only on mileage, have your vehicle inspected when you notice changes in ride quality, handling or unusual suspension noises.

Common signs include clunking or knocking noises, excessive bouncing, a rough ride, unusual vehicle movement, uneven tire wear and changes in handling. An inspection can help determine the actual cause.
Clunking over bumps can be caused by different suspension or steering components. Because several parts can produce similar symptoms, the vehicle should be inspected before replacing components.
Both help control suspension movement, but their design and role within the suspension system differ. Some vehicles use shocks, some use struts, and some use a combination depending on the front and rear suspension design.
Yes. Certain suspension problems can affect wheel movement and alignment, potentially contributing to uneven tire wear. However, tire wear can have several causes, so the vehicle should be inspected to determine what's responsible.
