Is Your Suspension Bad?

If you are driving your vehicle and feel every bump in the road, something might be wrong with your suspension system.

Warning Signs

Drivers need to know how to tell if their vehicle’s suspension has a problem. Handling repairs before parts fail could help you avoid costly repairs and dangerous driving conditions. These warning signs mean that your vehicle’s optimal performance and handling are diminished. Visit our shop at your first opportunity for repairs to restore your car’s condition!

Poor Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment and suspension go hand-in-hand. That’s why our technicians carefully check and correct any issues to protect the suspension system. We ensure each wheel meets the road at the proper angle to achieve optimal control and performance. Anything less than that will cause accelerated strain on suspension components, shortening their lifespan.

Worn Springs, Shocks, & Struts

The springs are responsible for holding the weight of the car. After years of use, they may sag or break. If one corner of your vehicle sits lower than the others, that indicates a spring isn’t holding its share of the weight.

Shock absorbers on each wheel work to limit bouncing while traveling over bumps in the road. When they wear out, your ride will become more uncomfortable.

If your specific vehicle doesn’t use shock absorbers to create a smooth, comfortable ride, it may be outfitted with struts instead. Understanding which component your vehicle has is critical, as broken struts can put your vehicle’s safety at serious risk. If you hear knocking when traveling over a bump, your struts require professional attention.
