Sign Your Car's Suspension Needs Repairs
Noticing the early signs of suspension problems can help you avoid costly repairs and ensure your vehicle remains safe and comfortable.
Common indicators that your suspension might need servicing include:
- Uneven Tire Wear: If your tires are wearing unevenly, it could mean your suspension is not evenly distributing the vehicle's weight, affecting tire contact with the road.
- Excessive Bouncing or Swaying: If your car bounces excessively after bumps or sways noticeably during turns, it's a sign your suspension components may be worn or damaged.
- One Corner Lower Than the Rest: A sagging corner of your vehicle could indicate a broken or damaged spring.
- Difficulty Steering or Poor Handling: Trouble steering or a loose, unresponsive steering feel can indicate underlying suspension issues.
- Visible Damage to Suspension Parts: Cracked, broken, or visibly damaged suspension components need immediate attention to prevent further issues.
- Unusual Noises: Clunking, squeaking, or other abnormal noises while driving may point to problems with your suspension system.
- Oily or Greasy Shocks or Struts: Leaking fluid from shocks or struts is a sign they need replacement.
- Extended Stopping Distances: If you experience longer braking distances, it may be due to worn suspension components affecting vehicle stability.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your vehicle inspected by Christian Brothers Automotive Bryan. Our technicians will conduct a thorough suspension check and recommend any necessary repairs or maintenance to ensure your car stays in peak condition.
