Understanding Your Vehicle's Front Steering & Suspension System:

The front steering and suspension system is responsible for:

• Ride Comfort: Absorbing road shocks and vibrations for a smooth ride.
• Handling and Control: Maintaining tire contact with the road for precise steering and stability.
• Vehicle Stability: Preventing excessive body roll during turns and maneuvers.

This system consists of various components, including:

• Shocks/Struts: Dampening oscillations and controlling spring movement.
• Ball Joints: Connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles, allowing for steering movement.
• Tie Rod Ends: Connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckles, transmitting steering input.
• Rack and Pinion Steering System: Converting steering wheel rotation into wheel movement.
• Idler/Pitman Arms: Supporting and guiding the steering linkage in some vehicles.
• Control Arms: Connecting the wheel assembly to the vehicle's frame.
• Sway Bars: Reducing body roll during cornering.

The suspension system is the critical link between your vehicle, its tires, and the road surface.
