Signs of a Bad Suspension System

Your vehicle's suspension is an important in helping to absorb bumps and potholes in the road. Overtime, however, your suspension will start to wear. The following are some signs of when it might be time to get your suspension serviced:

Rough ride: Your vehicle suspension stops absorbing the bumps and potholes you hit while driving. You will also feel your vehile bouncing around more after hitting bumps.
Uneven tire wear: A bad suspension system can cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can lead to reduced tire life and decreased handling and stability.
Drifting or pulling: Your vehicle will sometimes pull to one side while driving and you keep feeling like you have to correct the steering.
Difficulty steering: If it's becoming harder to turn the steering wheel, or if you notice a knocking or clunking sound when you turn the wheel, it could be a sign of worn-out ball joints or tie rod ends.
Braking problems: A bad suspension system can cause your vehicle to take longer to stop, or to nose dive when you apply the brakes, which can reduce your stopping power and compromise your safety.



A professional inspection can identify any worn or damaged components and ensure that your suspension system is functioning properly, helping to keep you safe and prolong the life of your vehicle.
