Steering and Suspension
Few areas of your vehicle are as integral to the safety of your driving as Steering and Suspension. With the terrible roads out there, particularly the pot-hole ridden roads of Chicagoland area, most drivers have no idea how bad their suspension is suffering. With just one big pot-hole hit, all the arms and couplings that extend from the axel to the wheel are effected. From the rack-and-pinion to the shocks, the whole mechanism is subject to loosening and damage. The dangerous part is that if some of the connectors are loosened, over time some of the arms that keep your wheel in place can disconnect. This is why you sometimes see people on the side of the road with a wheel turned the wrong way and coming off.
