Importance of servicing your suspension parts
Your vehicle’s suspension helps you control your car or truck on the road. Potholes and rough road surfaces can cause damage to the shocks, struts and springs of your suspension system. These weak suspension parts may make you to lose control over driving. They may also reduce the life of the tire.
Signs your car needs vehicle suspension repair
The shocks will wear out after years of their use. But people assume that the role of suspension is to offer a smooth ride. Hence, they do not pay much attention to their vehicle suspension repair as they do for oil replacement or brakes. However, ignoring a bad suspension may cause you to lose control of your truck or car especially on bumps and turns. So it’s your responsibility to take care of your vehicle’s suspension maintenance.
Following are the signs that indicate that it’s time for vehicle suspension repair.
1. Car begins to bounce
As you car rides over a bump, you start feeling it and the body of your car or truck may also bounce. This indicates that it’s time for your vehicle suspension repair.
2. Pulling at turns
With a weak suspension system, you start experiencing the vehicle "pull" at turning points. In other words the shocks are no more supporting the vehicle body and you are likely to risk of a rollover. So now is the time to drive your car to our certified auto repair center for servicing.
3. Leaking fluid
If you just observe the bottom of your vehicle, the shocks or struts may appear greasy. This means there is leakage of oil and it’s time to change the shocks.
4. Check your car
If you sense something wrong with your suspension, perform a small test.
When your car is at rest, apply pressure on the front of it using all your weight; allow it to bounce for a couple of times, then release. Repeat the same process on the rear of the car. If the vehicle continues to bounce extremely even after you stop applying force, the suspension is damaged.
