The Role of Your Car’s Suspension

Given the role your car's suspension plays, it's likely you'll know right away if you need to schedule Gillman service to remedy a malfunction. If you suspect your suspension needs professional attention, contact Gillman Subaru San Antonio to discuss the symptoms you've noticed.

Components

Whether you drive an older car or a new Subaru vehicle like a Subaru Forester or Subaru WRX, your automobile has a suspension. Several key parts make up your suspension. Those components include springs, shocks, and likely an anti-sway bar.

Your suspension is basically a shock-absorbing platform that supports the cabin and attaches to the wheels. The suspension's springs control the load and height of the cabin and the suspension itself. Also referred to as dampers, the shocks absorb the energy transferred by the tires when they contact the road. The anti-sway bar shifts the movement of your wheels in concert with your steering wheel to stabilize the direction of your automobile.

What the Suspension Does

When you visit our Subaru parts center, you'll see all the critical components that are part of your suspension system. Those parts work together to perform functions that influence the experience drivers and passengers have when they travel. If you hit a bump or dip in the road, your wheels will be forced to move up or down and they'll generate energy as a result. Your suspension is tasked with absorbing that energy before it disrupts the peacefulness of the cabin.

Benefits Your Suspension Provides

 

In addition to minimizing the impacts of road imperfections in the cabin, your suspension provides additional benefits that are quite meaningful as it fulfills its role. For starters, the system enables you to steer more accurately and easily by maximizing the friction between your tires and the roadway. The system can also prolong the life of your vehicle by limiting the exposure other parts have to wear and tear that your suspension is designed to prevent.
