Your vehicle’s suspension plays a crucial role in keeping your ride smooth, stable, and safe. But over time, wear and tear—or simply the added weight of towing and hauling—can take a toll. If your suspension isn’t performing like it used to, it might be time for an upgrade.
Here are the top five signs your suspension needs attention—and the best way to fix it.
1. Your Vehicle Sags Under Load
The Problem
If your truck, van, or RV sits lower in the rear when you’re carrying cargo or towing a trailer, your suspension is struggling to support the weight. This can lead to:
- Uneven handling
- Poor braking performance
- Increased strain on suspension components
The Fix
A load support solution like SumoSprings® can prevent sagging by providing progressive suspension reinforcement. Unlike airbags, SumoSprings don’t require maintenance, air compressors, or adjustments—just install and go.
2. Excessive Sway and Body Roll
The Problem
Feeling like your vehicle leans too much in corners? Does it sway in crosswinds or when a semi passes you on the highway? That’s a clear sign of weak suspension.
Sway can make driving stressful, especially for RV owners and those hauling heavy loads.
The Fix
SuperSprings® helper springs and SumoSprings reduce sway by stabilizing your suspension. They engage automatically when needed, keeping your vehicle level and handling predictable—without sacrificing comfort.
3. Rough, Bouncy Ride
The Problem
If every pothole or bump in the road feels like a major impact, your suspension may not be absorbing shocks effectively. Over time, factory components wear out, leading to a harsh and uncomfortable ride.
The Fix
Upgrading your suspension with SumoSprings or Coil SumoSprings helps absorb road shock and smooth out your ride. These upgrades reduce vibration and jolts, making long drives far more comfortable.
4. Poor Towing and Hauling Performance
The Problem
If your vehicle struggles with stability, braking, or handling when towing, your suspension is likely not providing enough support. This can lead to:
- Trailer sway
- Unstable steering
- Uneven tire wear
The Fix
Adding SumoSprings or SuperCoils® gives your suspension the extra support needed for towing and hauling. SumoSprings compress progressively, providing a smooth, stable ride without needing manual adjustments. For even heavier loads, SuperCoils heavy-duty coil springs increase front-end support and help balance weight distribution.
5. Uneven Tire Wear
The Problem
If your tires are wearing out unevenly—especially on the edges—it could be a sign that your suspension isn’t keeping the vehicle level. This not only shortens tire life but can also impact fuel efficiency and overall handling.
The Fix
A suspension upgrade ensures your tires stay properly aligned and evenly loaded, preventing premature wear. By reinforcing your suspension with SumoSprings, SuperCoils, or SuperSprings helper springs, you can extend tire life and improve overall vehicle performance.
