A properly-functioning suspension system is essential for a smooth, safe, and comfortable ride. It’s what absorbs the shock from bumps, keeps your tires in contact with the road, and maintains stability while you steer. However, as the miles add up, your suspension system can experience wear and tear. At Auto Check Complete Car Care, we provide expert suspension repair in the greater Katy, TX area. Here are five common signs of a suspension problem.
If you feel every little bump and dip in the road, your suspension could be in trouble. A healthy suspension system absorbs shock efficiently, but when it’s worn out, the ride can feel jarring and uncomfortable. If your car sways excessively after hitting a bump, your shocks or struts may need replacement.
Uneven tire wear is often a sign that your suspension is no longer holding your vehicle level. If the suspension is out of balance, more weight gets shifted to certain tires, causing them to wear out faster. If you notice balding tires or uneven tread, have your suspension checked along with your alignment.
If the car drifts when you’re attempting to drive straight, it’s a sign that the suspension might be compromised. Issues with the control arms, tie rods, or ball joints can make your vehicle harder to control, increasing your risk of accidents.
When your shocks or struts are worn out, your vehicle may lurch forward or “nose dive” when you apply the brakes, especially during hard braking. This symptom can make stopping distances longer and increase the risk of collisions.
Shocks are filled with a hydraulic fluid that helps them absorb impact. If you notice any oily fluid leaking around these components, it means they’re no longer functioning properly and need to be replaced. Leaking shocks can’t absorb impacts effectively, leading to a rougher ride.
