1. A vehicle suspension wear prediction and indication method, comprising:

  • processing data input sets associated with usage of a suspension system, said data input sets selected to model a magnitude factor and a duration factor, wherein said magnitude factor comprises a rough road measurement and a vehicle speed measurement, and wherein said rough road measurement originates from one of a variable wheel rotation measurement determined using an anti-lock braking subsystem and an accelerometer input determined using a suspension monitoring subsystem, said processing including conversion of said data input sets into a cumulative wear estimate; and

    providing an indication of wear based upon the cumulative wear estimate.
