THE BEAUTIFUL OPEN ROAD - EASTERN USA

Are you an avid RV enthusiast seeking ways to enhance your travel experience? Are you looking to make those long journeys more comfortable and enjoyable? If so, look no further!

 

In this blog, we'll explore some of the benefits of upgrading your steering and suspension with aftermarket parts, giving you better control, comfort, and peace of mind on the open road.

 

Why Steering and Suspension Matter:

 

Before we dive into the details of aftermarket parts, let's first understand the critical role that steering and suspension systems play in your motorhome. These two systems work together to ensure a smooth, stable, and safe ride by absorbing shocks, vibrations, and irregularities on the road. A well-functioning steering and suspension system can provide a range of benefits, including:

 

  • Better handling and control: A stable and responsive system can help you steer, brake, and accelerate more effectively, reducing the risk of accidents, fatigue, and stress.
  • Improved comfort and stability: A well-damped system can reduce the impact of bumps, potholes, and rough surfaces, providing a smoother and quieter ride for you and your passengers.
  • Longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs: A properly maintained system can last longer and require less frequent repairs or replacements, saving you time and money in the long run.

 

Challenges with Stock Parts:

 

While most motorhome manufacturers aim to provide reliable and efficient parts, there are often compromises to balance cost, weight, and performance. Some of the common issues with stock parts include:

  • Inadequate shock absorption: Many stock suspensions are designed for light-duty use and may not be able to absorb heavy loads or rough terrain effectively, leading to excessive bouncing, swaying, or bottoming out.
  • Limited adjustability: Most stock suspensions are set up to suit a wide range of drivers and conditions and may not offer enough customization options for specific needs, such as towing, off-roading, or heavy hauling.
  • Short lifespan: Even the best stock parts can wear out or fail over time, especially if subjected to frequent use or harsh conditions. Replacing them with new stock parts may not always solve the underlying issues or may require costly repairs or modifications.

Benefits of Aftermarket Parts:

To overcome the limitations of stock parts, many motorhome owners turn to aftermarket parts that offer higher quality, performance, and flexibility. Aftermarket parts are typically designed and manufactured by specialized companies that focus on specific needs, such as heavy-duty use, off-road driving, or luxury travel.

 

  • Enhanced shock absorption: Advanced dampers, springs, and airbags can provide better support and cushioning, reducing the impact of bumps and jolts on the road. Some aftermarket suspensions also offer adjustable ride height, firmness, and rebound, allowing you to fine-tune your ride to your liking.
  • Increased adjustability: There are a wide range of customization options, such as tracbars, sway bars, steering stabilizers, among other things that allow you to tailor your suspension to your specific needs and preferences. This can be especially useful if you frequently tow heavy trailers, drive on rough terrain, or just want to improve cornering and handling performance.
  • Longer lifespan: Most aftermarket products are designed to withstand heavy use and abuse, using higher quality materials, coatings, and manufacturing processes than stock parts. This results in longer lifespan, fewer repairs, and less downtime, saving you money and headaches.
