Signs of Suspension Issues

When your suspension is damaged or misaligned, you may experience some noticeable signs. Suppose you hear excessive or clunking noises or feel a more than-usual bouncing sensation when hitting bumps or debris in the road. In that case, you should bring your vehicle in for a check-up. Another big sign is your steering wheel. Suppose your steering wheel sits off-center when your wheels are straight. If the steering feels loose or too easy to move when making turns, or your vehicle pulls to one side when driving on a straight stretch of road, you may have suspension alignment issues. The last option can also be a related wheel alignment issue, so it’s best to inspect your vehicle right away. Both issues can lead to bigger, more expensive repairs if left unchecked.

Cause and Effects

When you experience suspension problems, this can be caused by damage to the shocks and struts, the sway bars, the attached coil springs or tie rods, or the steering rack. All these parts and their associated mechanical systems are connected. When any of them are damaged, the other systems can be affected, especially the suspension. This is why taking the signs seriously and getting your vehicle into our garage early to be checked out is important. Our experienced team of ASE-Certified technicians know all the ins and outs of any vehicle’s suspension, regardless of the year, make, or model. And while we assess your suspension, we will also check your tires and wheel alignment, as they can be affected or cause suspension issues.
