Part of having a smooth ride depends on whether your car's steering mechanism and suspension are in good condition. Ensuring this leads to a vehicle that handles properly as well as minimizes the effect of bumps and vibrations.

Damage to the suspension results from rough roads, potholes and curbs. A vehicle with a damaged suspension affects the rest of its performance and is considered unsafe to drive.

One of the most noticeable signs of a damaged suspension is the car no longer driving in a straight line or bouncing on uneven roads. These signs indicate that the ball joints, shocks, struts or tie-rod ends, and bushings need to be inspected.
