- Suspension: Your Vehicle’s Secret to a Comfortable Ride
- Your vehicle's suspension and steering system is the unsung hero of your driving experience, quietly working behind the scenes to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride. It is an important link between your wheels and the vehicle's body, absorbing shocks and vibrations from the road while maintaining control and stability. The suspension system includes various components, like springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, and bushings, all working together to provide cushioning, maintain integrity with solid tire contact, and enhance steering responsiveness.
- How to Tell If Your Suspension Needs Attention:
If your ride has become bumpier than usual, your shock absorbers or struts might be worn out. It’s time for an inspection.
Notice uneven tire wear? This could be a sign of suspension issues like misalignment or damaged parts.
If your vehicle tends to pull to one side while driving, it might be due to suspension problems or alignment issues that need checking. Often an innocent curb shot can take a vehicle out of alignment.
Struggling to steer or feeling a loose steering wheel could mean your suspension or steering components are in need of attention.
If your car’s front end dips significantly when you brake or lean heavily during turns, your shocks or struts might be failing.
Clunking, banging, or rattling sounds when driving over bumps could indicate damaged or loose suspension parts.
Persistent squeaks or grinding noises, especially during turns or when driving over bumps, often point to worn bushings or other suspension components.
If your car’s handling has become sluggish or you’re having trouble staying in control during sharp turns, it’s a sign your suspension might need a check-up.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait, simply call us or make an online appointment.
