A vehicle's entire suspension system is important for safety, comfort on the road and good contact between the wheels and the road surface. It comprises several parts, each with a very specific role to play: shock absorbers, elastic joints, suspension and steering ball joints and steering tie-rods. Suspension in poor condition increases braking distances by more than 15% and reduces general roadholding.
Recommendations for mechanics:
- Always reinstall all the necessary parts on the shock absorber (cups, shock absorbers, shock absorber bellows, etc.).
- Always check the order of assembly.
- Use SNR suspension stop kits to ensure you have the right parts for the repair, without the risk of mistyping the part number.
