Common Signs Your Suspension Needs Attention
Recognizing the early warning signs that your suspension system needs servicing can prevent bigger problems. Our professional team is here to help you identify and address these issues before they escalate.
Here are some key indicators to watch for:
- Unusual Noises: If you hear clunking or banging when driving over bumps, it might signal that your shocks are worn out.
- Handling Issues: Excessive body roll when taking corners or noticeable leans when braking could point to shocks needing attention.
- Irregular Tire Wear: Tires wearing unevenly can be a symptom of failed shocks, reducing their lifespan and compromising safety.
- Bouncy Ride: If your vehicle continues to bounce after going over a bump, it’s a strong sign that shocks need replacement.
Addressing these symptoms promptly can improve your vehicle's safety and comfort. Ignoring these signs may lead to further complications such as damage to other suspension components, reduced fuel efficiency, and even compromising the vehicle’s electronic stability control system. Consult the experts at Christian Brothers Automotive Tattersall Park to diagnose and rectify these issues promptly.
