Worn-out Shock Absorbers and Struts: Constant exposure to potholes, uneven surfaces, and bumps can lead to premature wear of the shock absorbers and struts in the Suzuki Alto Lapin. This can affect the ride comfort and vehicle stability.
Misalignment: The rough road conditions can also cause wheel misalignment, resulting in uneven tire wear and poor handling. Misalignment may also cause the steering to feel loose o r off-center.
Impact on Driving:
The vehicle may feel bouncy, unstable, o r noisy while driving, especially when hitting bumps o r potholes. Additionally, the steering may feel heavy o r imprecise due to misalignment.
Solutions:
Regularly check and replace shock absorbers, struts, and suspension bushings to ensure smooth handling and comfort.
Wheel alignment should be checked at least every 6 months o r after driving on rough roads for prolonged periods.
Suspension upgrades can be considered if you frequently drive in areas with particularly poor road conditions.
