The primary function of your car's suspension and steering
systems is to allow the wheels to move independently of the
car, while keeping it "suspended" and stable. Any play or
uncontrolled motion in these systems results in a
deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle
alignment is closely tied to the condition of the suspension
and steering systems.

Worn or loose components
affect the suspension system's ability to control motion and
alignment angles, resulting in a deterioration of vehicle
handling and stability, and accelerated tire wear. The main
components of the suspension system are:
- Control Arms
- Ball Joints
- Springs (Coil or
Leaf)
- Shock
Absorbers
