Your suspension system is located between the frame and the road. Its purpose is to absorb bumps, provide a comfortable ride, and increase the performance of your car. A suspension system that is in disrepair can negatively impact things like your steering, wheel alignment, and braking system.
It might be time to book an appointment at True-Centre Auto Service if you notice any of the following issues with your vehicle.
Pulling
If you let go of your steering wheel while driving and your vehicle starts to veer to the side, you might have a problem with your suspension system. While this could signify the need for a wheel alignment, it could also be symptomatic of a more severe problem with your shocks.
If it’s an issue with the shocks or suspension, the pulling will be more noticeable when turning. If ignored, this could become a dangerous situation increasing the likelihood of flipping your car.
Bouncing
If you notice that your car continues to bounce after driving over a bump or pothole, this could also indicate that your suspension needs servicing. To test your theory, push down on the car’s hood while it’s stopped. If you are met with resistance and the car pops back up automatically, your suspension is in good working order. If you can push the car down, it bounces back up and continues to bounce with a slight touch, it’s probably time to have your suspension serviced.
Bottoming Out/ Nose Dips
Bottoming out and nose dips are two tell-tale signs that your suspension needs some TLC. Bottoming out is when the bottom of your vehicle quite literally touches the road when driving over rougher terrain.
A nose dip is when the front of your car dips down, touching the ground while going over a speed bump or coming to a stop. Either way, the undercarriage of your vehicle coming into contact with the ground is never a good situation and could lead to even more significant problems if left unattended.
