      From: 7f3850f0866ae9bfc4f8f75e47725e67@example.com              You are correct that enhanced brakes, such as larger disk brake rotors and       more pistons in the calipers, can put more strain on the suspension during       high-speed braking. The increased braking torque can put additional stress on       the front suspension        components, particularly the McPherson struts.              During a panic stop, the weight of the vehicle shifts forward, increasing the       load on the front suspension. If the front struts are not designed to handle       the additional load, they may become bent or damaged. Additionally, the       suspension bushings and        ball joints that connect the steering and suspension components can also be       affected by the increased stress.              It's important to note that most modern vehicles are designed to handle the       additional stress of enhanced braking systems, and the suspension components       are typically built to handle the increased loads. However, if a vehicle is       modified with larger        brake rotors and more pistons in the calipers, it's important to ensure that       the suspension components are also upgraded to handle the additional stress.       Also, regular maintenance of suspension components can help to prolong their       lifespan.              It's always important to consult with a professional mechanic before upgrading       your vehicle's braking system to ensure that the suspension components are       compatible and can handle the increased loads              --       For full context, visit https://www.motorsforum.com/tech/enhance       -brakes-putting-strain-on-suspension-2560889-.htm              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
