What is the suspension system?

A vehicle's suspension system is responsible for providing a smooth ride and maintaining proper tire contact with the road. It consists of several components, including shocks and struts, coil springs, and control arms. These components work together to absorb the impact of bumps and potholes, allowing the vehicle to maintain stability and control.

Common suspension problems in heavy-duty diesel trucks

Over time, the suspension system of a heavy-duty diesel truck may experience wear and tear, leading to various problems. Some of the most common issues include
‍

• Worn Shocks and Struts: Shocks and struts are the components of the suspension system that dampen the impact of bumps and potholes. Over time, they may become worn, resulting in a rough ride and reduced handling.
• Damaged or Worn Coil Springs: Coil springs are responsible for supporting the vehicle's weight. If they become damaged or worn, they may begin to leak, which can result in a loss of stability and control.
• Worn Control Arms: Control arms are responsible for connecting the suspension system to the frame of the vehicle. If they become worn, they may cause the vehicle to pull to one side or the other, resulting in uneven tire wear and reduced handling.
