Proper chassis component function is critical to vehicle handling and tire wear. Each component has a specific function within the suspension and steering system and those functions will be reviewed in this section. And because chassis components are wear items, they must be periodically inspected and replaced if necessary. These inspections typically occur during an alignment, tire purchase or safety inspection. Replacement of worn chassis components can improve tire wear; solve handling or ride complaints; and more importantly improve vehicle performance and safety.
