Porsche Suspension Service: Ensuring a Smooth Ride
Every system in your vehicle has a very important job, and each system is made up of lots of different parts that can become faulty over time.
To combat problems caused by faulty components, you need to stop by your Porsche Center for service often. Getting a Porsche suspension service helps ensure your rides remain smooth.
What Is Your Porsche Suspension System?
Your Porsche suspension is the system in the car that absorbs vibrations and bumps as you drive. Shocks/dampers absorb and dampen all the kinetic energy caused by your tires being in contact with the road, making your ride more comfortable. The system also has springs that help control your ride height.
Most vehicles also have an anti-sway bar. This helps stabilize the direction of your car by making sure your vehicle’s wheels always move relative to how you move the steering wheel. In short, the suspension system is responsible for keeping your rides comfortable and stable.
What Happens During Suspension Service at Your Local Porsche Center?
Unless there’s something obviously wrong with your suspension, service typically involves an inspection to make sure your suspension is functioning as it should. Our technicians look out for cracks, broken components, and leaks. Your suspension is also connected to your wheels, so the system may be adjusted if your wheels are out of alignment.
Any worn-out parts will be replaced during service. Parts that commonly wear down include the ball joints, struts, and shock absorbers. Before fixing your suspension, your technician will always discuss the necessary repairs with you to make sure you want them to go ahead. Finally, we’ll take your car for a test drive to make sure everything is working correctly after we’ve repaired or adjusted your suspension.
How Do You Know You Need Service on Your Suspension?
Your Steering Wheel Is Loose
If your steering wheel feels loose or shaky, then it’s likely that there’s something wrong with your suspension system. Your wheels, steering wheel, and suspension all work together, so problems with any of these components can cause issues with the other two.
Your Rides Are Uncomfortable
If your journeys feel bumpier than usual, then there may be a problem with your suspension system. It could be failing to absorb all the bumps and kinetic energy properly.
Your Car Bounces
When you drive over a speed bump slowly, your car shouldn’t jolt or bounce. However, if the car bounces after you go over a speed bump, then the struts or springs in your suspension system may need some attention.
