The Suspension - Regular holds a vehicle steady over bumps and rough ground. It is the standard grade of suspension, below the Suspension - Performance.
The regular suspension comes in Standard, Heavy-Duty and Sports versions. Each version fits only vehicles of its own type. Trailers take the Standard version too.
Each wheel has its own suspension. It sits behind the tire next to the brake. A vehicle with worn suspension on one wheel needs only that one part replaced. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Suspension - Regular
The suspension absorbs the shocks of the road. The Heavy-Duty version is the stiffest, which suits heavy vans and trucks. The Sports version sits between the Heavy-Duty and the Standard one. The Standard version is the softest.
The suspension wears as the vehicle drives. On paved roads the wear is slow. Off road it wears many times faster, so shortcuts across fields cost condition. The Heavy-Duty version stands up to rough ground far better than the others.
Regular and performance suspensions of the same type ride the same way. The difference is in how long they last. A regular suspension wears faster and spawns damaged more often than a performance one.
Some regular suspensions spawn damaged. A part found on a parked car should be checked before it is trusted.
How to Install Suspension - Regular
Fitting or removing a suspension needs a Jack and a Wrench. The job calls for Mechanics level 3 and knowledge of Basic Mechanics.
The tire on that wheel has to come off first. A Lug Wrench and the Jack take care of that. The suspension must also be back in place before the tire can go on again.
Higher Mechanics lowers the chance of damage and raises the chance of success.
The suspension must match the vehicle type. A Standard suspension goes only on a Standard vehicle, and the same rule holds for Heavy-Duty and Sports versions.
The tools, Mechanics level and knowledge the game asks for to fit the Suspension - Regular and to take it out again.
