Suspension Inspection Schedule: Complete Maintenance Cycle

Overview

Suspension = shocks, springs, mounts, bearings, bushings, joints. Different lifespans, different intervals.

Inspection Schedule

• Shocks: Visual at each service; bounce test every 40k
• Springs: Coating/rust check every 20k
• Mounts: Crack/sag/noise check every 40k
• Bearings: Immediately if steering noise
• Bushings: Lift check every 20k
• Ball joints: Play/boot check every 20k
• Dust covers: Visual at each service

Check Immediately When

• Driving noises (clunk, squeak, hum)
• Pulling, off-center wheel, wandering
• Uneven tire wear
• Tilted body, bottoming out

Principles

Replace in axle pairs. When changing shocks, check mounts/bearings/covers together. Fix small issues early.
