How are suspension systems fixed?
Accurate Auto will determine what your car needs for optimum performance by the suspension systems.
Typically, the springs and shock absorbers or struts will need to be replaced after a certain mileage marker. A properly working suspension system ensures a more comfortable ride, improved braking distance, better handling, and superior safety.
How can you keep your suspension systems in good working order?
Accurate Auto can help with a thorough check but here is one way you can check your suspension yourself. Try the “bounce test”: push your vehicle down and see how many times it bounces before it stops. More than two bounces means that the struts or shocks need to be replaced.
