Suspension Wear and Ground Clearance:

Over time, worn-out shock absorbers o r springs can cause the vehicle to sag, reducing ground clearance. This can exacerbate scraping issues, especially on rough o r uneven roads.

Signs of Suspension Wear:

Bouncy Ride: If the car bounces excessively after hitting bumps, the suspension might be worn out.
Uneven Ride Height: If the car appears lower on one side o r sinks excessively when loaded, the suspension components may need attention.

Inspection Frequency:

Suspension components should be inspected every 12,000 to 15,000 km o r annually, especially in regions with rough roads like Pakistan. If you notice any signs of wear, immediate replacement o r repairs are recommended.
