Key Indicators of Suspension Issues
Your car's suspension system is more than just shocks and springs. It's an intricate assembly that absorbs road imperfections and keeps your tires in firm contact with the pavement. This contact is essential for responsive steering, effective braking, and overall vehicle stability. A well-maintained suspension system prevents your car from bouncing excessively or swaying around corners.
Ignoring problems with your suspension can lead to several negative outcomes:
- Excessive Tire Wear: A failing suspension can cause your tires to wear down unevenly and much faster than normal, leading to premature replacement.
- Poor Handling and Steering: You might notice your car pulling to one side, or the steering wheel feeling loose or unresponsive, which can make driving dangerous.
- Bumpy or Uncomfortable Ride: Worn shocks and struts can't properly absorb impacts, resulting in a rough, bouncy ride that you can feel with every bump in the road.
- Strange Noises: Clunking, rattling, or squeaking sounds, especially when going over bumps, are often a sign that suspension components are worn or damaged.
A healthy suspension system isn't just a matter of comfort and safety—it also saves you money. It helps improve fuel efficiency and protects other expensive components from damage, meaning fewer unexpected repair costs down the line.

Q. "What is the difference between shocks and struts?"While one of them will be found in every one of your vehicle’s tires, a vehicle will either have a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both.
