Elevate your driving experience and master the hydraulics, the defining feature of lowrider culture in GTA.

In the Lowriders update for GTA Online, players can now equip their vehicles with hydraulics, introducing a new level of customization to the game.

These hydraulics enable players to bounce and hop their cars, adding a unique style and flair to their rides.

In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of controlling your hydraulics and some tips and tricks to get the most out of them.



How to Custom Hydraulic Suspension in GTA Online

To use hydraulics in GTA Online, you first need to acquire a low-rider vehicle. You can then customize the hydraulics at [Benny’s Original Motor Works](/en/gta-5-where-is-bennys).

Once you’ve chosen your car, you can start installing a suspension kit and play with the controls.

As mentioned earlier, the hydraulics suspension is exclusive to Benny’s Original Motor Works. You’ll need to bring a car that supports this customization to their shop.

Choose the "Hydraulics" option in the Benny's Original Motor Works

Tricks to Use for Hydraulics in GTA Online

Here are 8 tips and tricks for driving hydraulics vehicles in GTA Online:

  • Hold “X” to lower hydraulics.
  • Pressing the “X” key once will elevate the car to the highest suspension mode.
  • To bounce with the whole car, hold and release “X.”
  • While holding “X,” start pressing the “A” and “D” keys to bounce to a certain side.
  • Repeatedly tapping the “X” key results in small, continuous bounces.
  • Using the steering wheel joystick in tandem with the various “X” key tapping patterns results in the car bouncing about its rear axle, front axle and also about its sides.
  • To make the front wheels bounce, players must press the “X” key and the “Left Shift” key or the “NumPad 8” key.
  • To make the rear wheels bounce, players must press the “X” key and the “Left Ctrl” key or the “NumPad 5” key.
