Why Is the Suspension of My Suzuki Bolan Struggling Under Full Load?

When my Suzuki Bolan is loaded to its full capacity, I’ve noticed that the suspension seems to be under a lot of strain, and the ride quality deteriorates. What are the common causes of this issue, and how can I improve the suspension’s ability to handle full load without compromising comfort?

When your Suzuki Bolan is fully loaded and the suspension is struggling, it could be due to several factors:

Worn Suspension Components: The suspension system, including shocks, springs, and bushings, can wear out over time, especially when regularly carrying heavy loads. If the springs o r shocks are worn, they will not be able to absorb bumps and vibrations properly, leading to a rougher ride.

Excessive Load: Overloading the vehicle beyond its rated capacity can cause the suspension system to be under continuous strain, resulting in sagging o r failure. This affects the vehicle’s handling and overall ride quality.

Incorrect Load Distribution: Unevenly distributing the load across the vehicle can put extra pressure on specific parts of the suspension, making it harder for those components to function as they should.

Age of the Vehicle: Older vehicles like the Suzuki Bolan may naturally experience suspension degradation due to years of use, especially if they have not been maintained properly.

Solution:

Ensure that the vehicle is not overloaded beyond its maximum weight limit.

Regularly check the suspension components for wear and replace any damaged o r worn parts such as shocks o r springs.

Try to distribute the load evenly across the vehicle to avoid putting extra pressure on specific suspension components.

If the suspension is too worn, consider upgrading to stronger, more durable parts suited for commercial use.
