5 signs your suspension system needs to be repaired

Your car ’ s suspension system consists of many parts including shock absorbers , struts and axles . It connects your car ’ s wheels to the chassis and allows your vehicle to absorb bumps on the road and accelerate and brake smoothly . It also keeps your tires firmly on the road when turning . Here are five signs your suspension system may need to be repaired .

1 . Your ride is bumpy If your ride is rougher than usual and you can feel every little bump on the road , you may have a broken strut or shock absorber that needs to be replaced .
2 . One corner of your car sits low
A damaged spring will cause one corner of your vehicle to sit lower than the other three . This could result in the sagging corner hitting the road when you go over bumps .
3 . Your car leans or tilts
If your vehicle leans to one side when you turn , or it tilts backward or forward when you brake or accelerate , it ’ s time to get your suspension checked .
4 . Turning is a challenge If you find it more difficult than usual to
steer , or your car pulls or drifts when you turn corners , it may mean there ’ s a problem with your shock absorbers .
5 . Unusual noises
If you hear knocking every time your car hits a pothole , your struts are likely bottoming out and need to be replaced .
Your car ’ s suspension system is designed to provide a smooth ride . If you think something ’ s wrong with it , visit a qualified mechanic as soon as possible . n
