I am aware of the anticipated response, which suggests exercising caution and reducing speed when encountering speed bumps and similar obstacles. However, I already adhere to this practice. In summary, it is often observed that the driver side is less prone to malfunctioning, even when subjected to significant weight loads. The occurrence of NS consistently transpires at intervals of around 1.5 to 2 years. I saw auditory indications of the NS producing a banging sound during instances of free movement, prompting me to consider replacing it. However, I received advice advising against immediate replacement, citing an unconventional rationale. In the subsequent months, both parties emit a cringe-inducing sound subsequent to a brief period of vehicular operation. After having the vehicle inspected, it was determined that the issue was in the suspension arms. However, it is perplexing to me why this problem arises on a biennial basis.

Are there frequent encounters with speed bumps in your area?

Are you personally engaged in the completion of the task? Is the torquing of the huge bolts on the two enormous main arms being performed while the automobile is positioned horizontally on the ground, as opposed to being elevated in the air?

I often see several speed bumps. However, I do not personally engage in the completion of tasks.

The likely reason may be attributed to the presence of speed bumps. If another owner, who drives a comparable miles and does not encounter speed bumps, reports a much longer suspension life, this would provide further intriguing data.

It is likely that speed bumps are the contributing factor in this scenario. If another vehicle owner, who also does not encounter speed bumps and has comparable mileage, reports a much longer lifespan of their suspension system, this would provide further intriguing and noteworthy information.
