Maintaining your truck's suspension and alignment is one of the single best ways to produce a smoother, safer, more comfortable ride. Whether you are a safety-conscious fleet manager, or a cost-sensitive business owner, your truck's suspension and alignment must be properly maintained.
The importance of your Truck and Trailer suspension shouldn't be underestimated. Damaged or worn suspension significantly compromises your vehicles performance and safety.
Your Truck and Trailers suspension allows both tires and axles of the truck to move independently from one another. This helps soften the impact to the vehicle and helps absorb the impact of cracks, bumps or dips in the road. Without the suspension system, manoeuvring a truck would be difficult — and in some cases, dangerous.
