To extend the life of the car suspension, it is worth washing it, timely replacement of worn parts and monitoring tire pressure. This was told by the service director of the company "Rolf" Yulia Trushkova, reports "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" on January 30.

Thus, the bottom of the car should be washed especially after the winter season or traveling on muddy roads, as dirt, salt and chemicals accelerate corrosion of suspension parts. And timely repair is important because one faulty part can damage other suspension components. For example, a broken ball bearing can put out of action levers or shock absorbers, explained Trushkova.

It is necessary to keep an eye on tire pressure, as it determines the even distribution of load on the suspension. Insufficient or excessive pressure increases vibrations and stress on shock absorbers and ball joints, the expert pointed out. Finally, the easiest way to save the suspension is to avoid potholes and potholes, she noted.

On the eve, auto expert Alexander Smith said that after removing the film from the car body, paint peeling can be noticed on plastic elements. This happens because car manufacturers have recently been saving money on the coloring of plastic elements, he explained.

January 23, auto expert Alexei Balashov said that many Russian drivers in winter make mistakes that can lead to serious damage to the car. Thus, a number of motorists on slippery roads begin to brake sharply, which can lead to skidding and loss of control over the car, said the expert.
