Do You Need Suspension Service?

Due to the amount of stress your suspension system takes while you operate your vehicle, it comes as no surprise that a component could become worn or damaged over time. When that does happen, it’s important for you to understand the early signs of deterioration or malfunction. By knowing the signs, you’ll be able to prevent any serious issues from occurring, which will also help you avoid a hefty service bill. Here are a couple of signs that you should look out for!

Wheel Alignment

Yes, your wheels are actually part of your vehicle’s suspension system. The alignment of your wheels consists of three parts -- the toe, camber, and caster. If any of these three are knocked off alignment, you’ll have a difficult time controlling your vehicle. From the steering wheel not being centered to minor or major vibrations, there are a handful of problems you'll encounter. If not quickly handled, the misalignment will make driving difficult and other components could get damaged as well.

Shock Absorbers

Shock absorbers are responsible for reducing the amount of bumping and shaking you feel when on the road. If the shock absorbers are damaged, you’ll feel the side effects during your drive as the tires won't be able to maintain consistent contact with the road. A common cause for this is when the fluid within the absorber starts to leak. Make sure you visit our shop as soon as possible, as this could lead to bigger problems down the road.

Springs

The springs are responsible for holding the weight of your vehicle. If you notice one side of your vehicle is sitting lower than the other, that indicates something is wrong with your springs. Some issues you’ll run into include scraping the bottom end of your vehicle and inconsistent cornering, as the damaged spring won't be able to support the weight of your vehicle and its speed.
