When Does Your Car Need Suspension Repair?
by Lary Cook Sales ManagerA vehicle’s suspension system is something we don’t pay much attention to.
But, the suspensions will wear out after a few years holding tons of metal which will eventually lead to a suspension repair.
People live in this bubble that suspension repair isn’t as necessary as oil change or brake repair.
However, when your car's got a case of bad suspension, it affects the ability of the driver to control the vehicle especially while making a turn or stopping the car.
So! If you’re wondering to get your suspension repaired, we’ve got you!
5 Hints Your Car Needs Suspension Repair
Rough Car Rides
When you start feeling every bump on the road, it is time you realize that your suspension heads are wearing out.
Also, you will feel “drift or pull” while you are turning, which indicates the suspensions or shock absorbers aren’t keeping the vehicle stable.
An obvious indicator for bad suspension is a rough car ride.
2. Your Car Nose Dives When Stopping
When your car starts lurching in the forward/downward direction and it goes nose first when you apply the brakes firmly.
This affects the ability of the car to stop quickly which isn’t good for you.
3. You’ve Got Uneven Tire Treads
We all check our tires once in a while to check the air pressure. While checking that always observe the tire treads too.
If you observe balding spots or see the tread is unevenly wearing down, you should get alarmed as the suspension isn’t holding your car evenly.
This will result in uneven pressure on the tires.
4. Shocks Look Oily
Take a look at your shock from under the vehicle if they appear too greasy/oily, then it means they aren’t doing the job perfectly due to the leaking fluid.
That’s how you know you’ve got to replace those suspensions.
5. Check With “The Bounce Test”
It’s an easy test. When your car is parked press down on the front of your car with all your weight and “bounce” the car and release it.
Do the same on the rear end.
If you see that the car bounces more than 2-3 times, this indicates that the suspension is wearing out.
