How the Suspension System Works

Your vehicle’s suspension system helps absorb road impact and keep your tires in contact with the road.

It includes components such as:

  • Shocks and struts
  • Springs
  • Control arms and bushings
  • Ball joints

These parts work together to provide a stable, controlled ride.
