I have a treadmill that is about 200 pounds in a Subaru Forester. I am waiting for a buddy to come by and help me get it up some stairs and into my humble abode.Until this buddy gets there, it sits in the car. Should I be concerned that the constant weight will ruin the suspension system (or anything else)? If so, how long do I have before damage begins?Thanks.
It wont damage your suspension but it will shorten the life of your suspension.
No 200lbs won't damage your suspension. Prolly you are already overdue for shocks and struts and it is more noticable because of additional weight in back. Every 30k is when shocks/struts should be replaced.
