When you’re driving your Acura vehicle, and you notice how smooth the ride is, you have the suspension to thank. With a complex system of Acura parts, your car’s suspension is one of the most critical factors in ensuring a comfortable, sturdy driving experience. If you’re trying to understand your car’s suspension system, attempting to identify a problem, or need repairs, it’s time for service at Acura of Sherman Oaks.
What Does Suspension Do?
A suspension system is responsible for connecting your wheels and your car. It consists of multiple parts, including struts, bars, and shock absorbers. All these parts work together to keep your Acura Integra or Acura MDX driving smoothly.
The suspension keeps the car steady while driving, creating balance across every part of the vehicle and distributing weight. It also stabilizes the car as it moves so that the driver and passenger have a smooth, comfortable ride.
That’s what the suspension system delivers if it’s operating correctly. If that doesn’t sound like your driving experience, your Acura suspension may need a tune-up.
Is My Acura Suspension Not Working Correctly?
Your car may have a problem with its suspension if your ride doesn’t feel as gentle as it should. Signs that indicate a faulty suspension include:
- You experience a rough, bumpy ride when driving on smooth terrain
- Your car leans to one side when stopping, turning, etc.
- You notice more tire wear on one side of your vehicle than the other
- You hear clanking or grinding noises when driving
