Why does my Suzuki Khyber struggle to maintain speed on long drives o r highways?

On longer trips, especially at speeds above 80 km/h, my Khyber feels unstable and lacks smoothness. It becomes noisy and feels like it’s straining the engine. The fuel economy also s on highways. I’ve done wheel balancing and alignment. Could this be an issue with engine compression, tires, o r weak suspension?

If your car lacks power o r feels unstable on highways, it could be due to low engine compression, worn piston rings, o r weak suspension parts. At high speeds, poor wheel balancing o r tire issues can also cause instability. If the engine feels stressed, check the timing, fuel pump, and air filter. Also make sure the ignition coil and distributor are functioning properly. On long drives, engine heat can also affect performance, especially if cooling systems like the fan o r radiator are not fully efficient.
