Your car's suspension is vital for a smooth and safe ride. Here are five signs that it might be time for a check-up.

Common Suspension Warning Signs

  • Rough Ride: If you feel every bump in the road, your shocks or struts may be worn out.
  • Drifting or Pulling During Turns: This can indicate that the suspension is no longer keeping the car stable.
  • Dipping or "Nose Diving" When Braking: Worn shocks can cause the vehicle's body to lurch forward when you brake.
  • Uneven Tyre Treads: If you notice balding spots on your tyres, it could be a sign of a suspension problem.
  • Oily or Damaged Shocks: A visual inspection can reveal fluid leaks or damage to the shocks or struts.
