We offer suspension modifications for motorhomes and trailer axle alignment for up to 7,000 lb leaf spring axles, ensuring a smoother, more enjoyable ride.
Good RV handling is essential for a smooth, safe, and comfortable driving experience. It involves proper suspension, steering, and alignment, ensuring the RV responds well to road conditions and driver input. Here are a few key factors we address with our RV Services:
1. Proper Suspension: A well-maintained suspension system absorbs bumps, reduces swaying, and improves stability, especially in windy conditions or while turning.
2. Alignment: Proper wheel alignment ensures the RV tracks straight, reduces tire wear, and improves handling, particularly at highway speeds.
3. Steering System: A responsive and well-adjusted steering system helps the driver maintain control and make accurate turns, preventing oversteering or understeering.
4. Weight Distribution: Evenly distributing the weight inside the RV helps maintain balance, improving stability and reducing the likelihood of fishtailing or swaying.
5. Tire Health: Properly inflated and balanced tires contribute to better road grip and smoother handling.
6. Brake Performance: Well-maintained brakes ensure the RV can stop effectively, especially when handling heavy loads or downhill driving.
Liquid Spring is a type of advanced suspension system that uses liquid-filled components, such as shock absorbers and springs, to provide a smoother and more adaptive ride. Unlike traditional steel spring systems, Liquid Spring adjusts the suspension based on load and road conditions, offering superior comfort, stability, and handling.
It uses pressurized liquid to actively control the suspension, providing better shock absorption and reducing sway, making it particularly beneficial for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, RVs, and buses.
