There are things you can do to have a softer ride in your
Kia Soul
. But unless you are an experienced mechanic, you will want to leave it up to the professionals to make these updates for you. None of the options are a simple DIY type of job.
The firmer the car’s suspension, the bumpier your ride will be. So here are some things to consider updating in your vehicle:
  • Have softer struts and shocks installed.
  • If your shocks are adjustable, have them set to a softer setting.
  • Install softer springs.
  • Replace your sway bars with smaller bars.
  • Replace urethane bushings with rubber bushings.
Remember that all cars are different, and luxury cars will have a softer ride than your standard car. Make sure your ride stays smooth by having a quality
