Make Sure Your Suspension Is Ready For The Rough Road Ahead

One of the greatest sources of wear and tear on your vehicle comes from the road itself. The rough terrain and many miles slowly deteriorate the tires and other important parts. The most severe strain comes from uneven or bumpy terrain, which can rock the car and result in damage to your suspension. A working suspension is critical to making sure the car rides smoothly over bumps and can reliably navigate the road, so make sure yours is in pristine condition with regular Nissan service from our professionals at #CoastNissan.

 

The tires connect the car to the road, but from the tires up, the rest of the car is referred to as the suspension. The support that this system gives the car allows you to make turns and easily traverse uneven terrain without harming more fragile components. The most critical function of the suspension, however, is maintaining a proper balance during emergency maneuvers. Avoiding an accident is much more difficult if the suspension has not been properly tuned. Other duties of the suspension include making the car rider smooth for all passengers involved and balancing the distribution of weight from added stress.

 

The suspension consists of many parts overall, but there are a few that are the most important to check. Your tires need to be properly inflated, as an underinflated or overinflated tire is more prone to being popped and will greatly lower your gas mileage. In addition, having your wheels properly aligned at least every 30,000 miles reduces overall stress on your car and will keep your car functioning as intended. Overall, the suspension system does not need much maintenance, but these two simple checks go a long way in extending the life of your car.
