Wear in suspension bushings and ball joints can lead to play and reduced handling precision over time.
|
Efi Sensors:
|
Occasional sensor failures (e.g., TPS, MAP, O2) can affect engine performance and drivability.
|
Track Ice Buildup:
|
In certain conditions, ice can build up on the track and suspension components, affecting performance and potentially causing damage if not cleared.
