5 Signs You Need Suspension Repair


Your vehicle's suspension not only makes your ride more comfortable; it also helps protect your vehicles's engine and other components. Over time, suspension can wear down. Here are some signs that you may need vehicle suspension repair:

  • Uneven tire wear. If you notice that the tires on your vehicle are wearing unevenly, it could be a sign of a problem with the suspension. This could be caused by a worn or damaged component such as a strut or a control arm.
  • Noise when driving over bumps. If you hear a knocking or clunking noise when driving over bumps, it could be a sign of a problem with the suspension. This could be caused by a loose or worn component such as a strut or a control arm.
  • Vehicle sags on one side. If your vehicle sags or leans to one side when parked, it could be a sign of a problem with the suspension. This could be caused by a faulty spring or a damaged component.
  • Steering issues. If you notice that the steering feels loose or unstable, it could be a sign of a problem with the suspension. This could be caused by a worn or damaged steering component such as a tie rod or a ball joint.
  • Vehicle bottoms out. If your vehicle bottoms out or scrapes the ground when driving over bumps or when making turns, it could be a sign of a problem with the suspension. This could be caused by a faulty spring or a damaged component.

If you notice any of these symptoms, you should bring your vehicle to a mechanic to be checked. Continuing to drive a vehicle with a faulty suspension can cause further damage. If you need suspension repair or other work, please feel free to bring your vehicle to Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair!
