Your car's suspension system helps support the overall control of your car and offers you a smoother ride—even on the bumpiest roads. ... Your suspension uses a system of springs and shock absorbers to soften the jolts caused by bumps, potholes and other irregularities found on gravel, concrete or asphalt surfaces.

 How do you know when it's time for suspension repair? Your vehicle will usually tell you.  

 Most people can tell their shocks or struts are wearing out when they begin to feel every bump in the road, or when every bump causes the vehicle body to "bounce." A rough ride is an obvious sign that your vehicle's suspension needs work. 

 The purpose of your vehicle’s suspension is to maximize tire traction by keeping the vehicles tires in contact with the road surface.  It also provides steering stability with good handling and will ensure the comfort of the passengers.

 Let’s break down the jargon first. OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer.” This means that OEM replacement parts are exactly the same as what was originally used. They’re designed and produced by the same brand manufacturer that made your vehicle. The benefits of OEM parts are that they’re easy to find at the dealer, you know they’ll work, and they’re backed with a warranty guarantee. 

 With Genuine Porsche Parts, you’re assured of superior quality and fit, corrosion resistance, warranty coverage, and safety. Every part has been specifically designed and engineered for your Porsche vehicle, so you can be sure that your vehicle is getting the ideal solution. These are the only parts that are covered by your Porsche warranty, so if your car is still under warranty, you definitely want to choose genuine Porsche parts. If your vehicle is involved in an accident, you’ll want to use OEM parts to ensure an accurate fit and safety. 

Why Should I Get My Tires Aligned?

There are lots of advantages that come with getting your tires aligned at least once or twice a year. In fact, failure to get your tires aligned regularly can lead to:

Steering Wheel Misalignment – The car doesn’t drive straight when the steering wheel is at 12 o’clock.

Pulling to Left or Right – The steering system tends to pull to the left or right, requiring you to make constant corrections with the steering wheel.

Uneven Tire Wear – If your wheels aren’t aligned, you’ll likely notice that your tire tread is wearing unevenly, which could force you to have to buy a new set of tires sooner than you otherwise would.

Pulsing and Shaking – The chassis and/or steering wheel give an uncomfortable feedback to to the misalignment of the wheels.
