Secondary Damage--- Suspension by Trueigbo(op): 12:20pm On Feb 11, 2020
Please what does secondary damage--- suspension mean. Someone wants to buy a car for me from the auction and it has that as the secondary damage---.

Please I need help.

Secondary damage- suspension
Means the car had a primary damage which you didnt mention, and also another damage which was suspension component. The tyre, wheels, steering rack and pinion, lower arm, upper arm, shocks, struts, ball joints, sway bar, linkage, bushings, air suspension, drive shaft. CV joints, height leveling sensor,
air suspension compressor, valves and vacuum lines etc are all suspension components. A picture of this car will go along way to further reveal what's up with the car.

You have to look at the cost of totally replacing the whole suspension components (as a precaution & guidance) vs all other associated costs + logistics .......

It might be a small fix or almighty fix....... Then decide......
