How reliable is Changan Kalam’s suspension system on rough and uneven roads across Pakistan?

Drivers from areas like Balochistan and interior Sindh complain about early wear of shocks and leaf springs. Is the suspension not suited for rugged terrain?

The suspension system of Kalam—usually leaf springs and basic shock absorbers—is not optimized for Pakistan’s rugged terrain. On pothole-filled roads o r off-road tracks:

Shocks lose damping early often within 20,000–30,000 km.

Leaf springs may bend o r crack due to constant overloading o r uneven terrain.
Thus, while it may handle basic urban roads, it lacks the reinforcement o r travel needed for consistent rural use.
