Your suspension system affects ride quality for passengers and steering and handling for the driver. Vehicle owners can take several simple steps to ensure that these components remain in good condition.
The first step is to measure your tire pressure every 1,500-2,000 km. The readings should match the recommended PSI in your vehicle's owner manual. You can also have the technician check tread depth when you go for your regular oil changes.Â
Also, when you go for scheduled maintenance, have your mechanic check and top off the power steering fluid.Â
Once per year (or after 15,000-20,000 km), you can consider rotating your tires so that they wear evenly. Meanwhile, wheel alignment is a necessary step every 25,000-40,000 km.Â
If the vehicle pulls to one side when driving, you should contact our Penticton, BC service centre to schedule an appointment immediately. We can also help you plan your regular maintenance calendar so that your car remains in perfect working order.Â
