Checking the suspensions and the shock absorbers is mandatory for the “health” of the car. Regulating them depends on the use we give our car.
The wheels are the first contact of the vehicle with the asphalt. However, behind them there is a whole mechanical framework that includes suspensions and shock absorbers, main guarantors of stability, comfort and good performance that can deliver a car.
Therefore, to review both mechanisms of our self-as well as all its mechanics – is basic to preserve its good functioning. However, this review often includes the regulation and alignment of suspensions
Many drivers prefer to raise or lower the suspensions according to your preferences, either by driving style or simply for profit. But is it so complicated to make these changes to our vehicle?
Not really. As explained by the expert cushions suspensions and mechanical workshop, “if it has progressive springs, all you must do is change your location; if not, disconnect the spring. ”
Regarding which cases should lower the suspension, an expert argues that “a low suspension is used by drivers who like to drive fast (…) Win more cornering stability, which can take more speed.” To do this, as we previously said, if you have a progressive spring, you simply regulate it. And it is not necessary to touch the shock absorbers because they become stiff.
On the other hand, raising the suspension does influence the utility intended to give the vehicle. In fact, the expert recommends upload “whether to make a long trip or going to cross trail “even if our car is a sedan.
There is only one obligation with respect to suspensions. If our vehicle has GNV system, the weight of the drum in the back will come down a few centimeters. “Imagine when passengers go up,” he says. Therefore, in this case only the rear suspension must be raised to balance the car.
