Vehicle Suspension Failure

Inspecting Your Vehicle
Because the suspension is so crucial to the vehicle's integrity, it is important to have it inspected by an experienced mechanic on a regular basis. A car's suspension is checked once a year at the state inspection, but it is recommended to have it checked more often than that, especially for older vehicles. It is best to have your suspension inspected about every 3,000 miles or with each oil change. Checking your suspension for minor issues now could save you from costly damage and injuries in the future.
Issues to Look For
When you take your car in to have the suspension checked, make sure that a mechanic looks for the following:
- Cracked or broken parts
- Worn or loose connections between parts of the suspension system
- Worn ball joints, springs, or other worn parts
- Loose ends in the steering linkage that are vulnerable to coming unattached or breaking
Any of these problems could put you and your vehicle at serious risk. Because the suspension is not visible from the outside of the car, it can be difficult to know if anything is wrong at all. That is why it is so crucial to have your vehicle inspected regularly. If you feel any inconsistencies while steering or notice that steering around turns is difficult, you may need to have your suspension fixed.
Defective Parts
It is always better to err on the side of caution and look for defective parts before they cause serious damage. Sometimes, however, defective parts go undetected and later cause a suspension malfunction and accident. If you have been in an accident caused by a part defect, the part manufacturer or your vehicle manufacturer may be liable and you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and damages. Consider talking with a car accident attorney immediately after your accident to determine if you have a case to pursue compensation.
