Suspension

Regardless of how smooth a road may seem, this can change quickly due to things like potholes, construction, or road debris. Your car gets built with a suspension system designed to handle a variety of terrains. There can be bumps and inconsistencies when you least expect it. Your suspension system is what keeps your frame in good shape and lets your car absorb the shock without giving you an uncomfortable ride. You can also upgrade your suspension if you go off-roading a lot. You'll know if there's an issue from a range of symptoms. Typically, you'll notice a harsher ride, or leaning side to side. Another way is if your vehicle has excessive movement forward or backward when braking or accelerating. It's not all about ride quality, though, it can also be a safety hazard. If you notice any of the above issues, have your suspension inspected right away. Most of the components of a suspension last for about 5-years, like shocks, springs, and struts, so if it's been a while, it might be time to take your vehicle in. OEM parts straight from the factory are what experts suggest. If you own a GM vehicle and need a one-stop-shop for all your automotive needs, consider GM Parts Outlet.
