You need to have a piece of build material on each end of the suspension. The small pipes are used alot for axels and frames when combined with the bearings.

Use the book manual, its there for a reason.
But ill tell you anyway.
You're going to need to place the suspension under your car, or same height, but with a block that you can put anything under it.
Step one
Put the suspension under a block
Step two
Put a short pipe corner under it (or a block, but a pipe is rounder so it wont mess with what its touching, if its not touching anything, then its fine)
Step 2.5 (for steering + suspension)
Put a short pipe instead of a short pipe corner
Step three
Put a bearing onto the flat surface of the pipe
Step 3.5 (for steering + suspension)
Put a short pipe corner on the bearing and add a bearing onto the flat surface(or block, whatever... then bearing)
Step 4
Put the wheel on the bearing and you're golden!

Wide wheel base. You can use off road suspension without any problems if you have a wide enough wheel base to not topple over. Even in real life, Jeep Wranglers are notorious for that, so you see many with an extended wheel base, especially for going off-road.

Also make sure your car is actually heavy enough to not just bounce up over every bump. The more weight you have, the less bounce the suspension has. Until you have too much weight, then the suspension does nothing and you just hit every bump in the landscape.

You mostly want to bring your center of gravity down lower and widen your car too. This will make a stable base.

An unreasonable engine speed is what I would suspect to be the cause of many peoples cars flipping easily as well.

Wheel might be too heavy for the game. They are turning into reaction wheels in mid air.
