Arch Street Wheel & Tire provides Steering and Suspension System services to Little Rock, AR, North Little Rock, AR, Sherwood, AR, and other surrounding areas.

The suspension system is responsible for absorbing shocks and vibrations from uneven road surfaces, bumps, or potholes. This minimizes the impact felt by the driver and passengers while preventing excessive wear and tear on the vehicle's components. In addition, the suspension system helps keep the tires in contact with the road, ensuring optimal grip and traction. This is crucial for maintaining control of the vehicle, especially during cornering or sudden maneuvers.

The primary components of a suspension system are the springs, shock absorbers, and control arms, alongside various linkages.

The springs are designed to compress and expand, absorbing and releasing energy as the vehicle encounters bumps or dips in the road. The most common types of springs used are coil springs and leaf springs. Coil springs are made of coiled steel and provide a smoother, more comfortable ride. Leaf springs are made up of multiple layers of flexible steel strips and are often used in heavy-duty trucks and some SUVs. Working in conjunction with the springs, shock absorbers, or dampers, control the excessive bouncing or oscillation caused by the springs' movement. They dissipate the energy generated by the springs, so the wheels remain in contact with the road surface throughout the ride.

Control arms, or A-arms, are another important part of the suspension system. They are typically located on the front wheels and connect the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. Control arms allow the wheels to move up and down, while also providing stability and control. Linkages, such as sway bars or stabilizer bars, reduce body roll during turns. They connect the wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle, allowing them to work together and maintain stability, especially during sharp maneuvers.
