Your car’s suspension system is crucial not only from a comfort standpoint, but also from a handling and safety standpoint. Cary’s Auto Service wants you to be aware of what it looks and feels like when your suspension system is having trouble so that you can get help much more quickly.
The Car Drifts
Your car’s suspension and steering systems work together to help your car to stay where you want it to be. When there’s something wrong in the suspension, that can throw everything off and the car may start to drift a bit. Sometimes you might also feel a strong pulling sensation, too, as if the car is fighting you.
The Car Has Steering Issues
Besides just drifting, you might start to experience actual issues with steering. This might involve you believing you’re steering the car in one direction and the car going in a completely different direction or it might be more subtle. If you’re experiencing big issues with steering, you really shouldn’t drive the car until you know what’s going on because you’re not likely going to be able to safely maneuver the car otherwise.
You’re Feeling More Bumps as You Drive
One of the main roles of the suspension system is to even out the riding experience for you and your passengers. The suspension system absorbs some of the bumps and jolts that involve driving. But when that system has issues, it’s not doing any of that and you’re more likely to have a lot less comfort as you drive around.
The Car Sits Funny
If you ever notice that one corner or side of your car is sitting differently or oddly from the rest of the car, odds are very good that something has changed in the suspension. You may also hear a lot of squeaking when you’re inside the car. As people get in and out of the car, it may be a lot more mobile as weight changes within the car, too. All of these smaller signs are indications that you really do need to have your suspension system inspected for issues.
