A vehicle’s suspension is essential for keeping it upright and preventing rollover when driving. The most common warning signs that your car requires suspension repair are listed below. When it’s time to schedule suspension repair or maintenance, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service.
A Rough Ride
Unless you're off-roading, you shouldn't feel every bump in the road. Your car's struts and shock absorbers are in charge of keeping your ride smooth when you're driving through rough terrain. Have a professional inspect your struts and shock absorbers if driving over small bumps feels like driving over a pothole. It is recommended that they be replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on how often the car is driven.
Steering Struggles
A suspension problem is the most frequent reason for a car to swerve to one side while being driven. It is likely that turning will become more challenging, even at moderate speeds. If the vehicle makes a screeching sound when turning, check the power steering fluid. While your car is parked, you might notice that one side is lower than the other. Even though some cars are built this way on purpose, if this seems strange, examine the struts, springs, and shock absorbers.
Tires With Uneven Tread
If one tire loses tread sooner than the others due to uneven wear, your car can blow a tire. Uneven tire tread can be caused by a variety of things, such as damaged suspension components and worn-out shocks or struts. When inspecting the suspension, make sure the control arms, bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, and wheel bearings are all in good working condition.
