Is the Suzuki Mehrans Suspension Setup Capable of Handling Bad Roads and Bumps?

In Pakistan, road conditions can be quite poor, with potholes and uneven surfaces. How does the suspension setup in the Suzuki Mehran front coil springs and rear leaf springs handle rough roads? Do owners often report problems like worn-out shocks, bottoming out, o r loss of ride comfort?

The suspension system of the Suzuki Mehran consists of front coil springs and rear leaf springs, which is a simple setup often found in older cars.

Handling Bad Roads: While this setup is effective for basic driving on smooth roads, it’s less effective on poor-quality roads with potholes, bumps, and uneven surfaces. In Pakistan, where road conditions can be challenging, the Mehran may face issues with ride comfort and stability, especially when driving over bumps o r unlevel surfaces.

Wear and Tear: The leaf springs in the rear suspension are prone to wear over time, and constant exposure to rough roads can cause them to lose their elasticity, leading to loss of ride comfort. Additionally, shock absorbers may wear out more quickly, reducing overall ride quality.

🛠️ Fix:
Suspension Upgrades: Some owners opt to replace o r upgrade the shock absorbers and leaf springs to better suit the road conditions.

Regular Suspension Checks: Regularly inspect and replace any worn suspension components to ensure a smoother ride.
