Commonly Asked Questions

What are the signs that my vehicle's struts need to be replaced?

Common signs that your vehicle's struts need to be replaced include excessive bouncing, uneven tire wear, and a noticeable decrease in ride comfort. You might also hear unusual noises when driving over bumps or experience poor steering response. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to have your struts inspected by a professional to ensure your vehicle remains safe and comfortable to drive.

Why is it important to maintain my vehicle's suspension system?

Maintaining your vehicle's suspension system is crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe ride. A well-functioning suspension system helps absorb shocks from the road, maintains tire contact, and provides better control over your vehicle. Regular maintenance can prevent premature wear and tear on other components, such as tires and brakes, ultimately saving you money on repairs and improving your overall driving experience.

How often should I have my suspension system inspected?

It's recommended to have your suspension system inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues early, preventing more significant problems down the road. If you frequently drive on rough or uneven roads, you may need to have your suspension system checked more often to ensure it remains in good condition.

Can I drive with a damaged suspension system?

Driving with a damaged suspension system is not recommended, as it can significantly impact your vehicle's handling, braking, and overall safety. A compromised suspension system can lead to uneven tire wear, reduced ride comfort, and increased risk of accidents. If you suspect any issues with your suspension, it's essential to have it inspected and repaired by a professional as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
