How to Make Your Car Last Forever: Avoid Expensive Repairs, Improve Fuel Economy, Understand Your Warranty, Save Money

What a brilliant design the McPherson strut suspension is. Shock absorber, coil spring, and lower ball joint are
all incorporated into one assembly. Upper control arms and ball joints are gone. Plus, because of the removal
of these components, the vehicle weighs less and, because of less moving parts, there’s less going out of the
alignment angles. Finally, this suspension makes cornering and handling much easier and more responsive.
