Is Your Suspension Shot?
When your suspension is in need of repair, you will begin to notice a few obvious signs, such as:
-
Roll or sway on turns
-
Front end “dives” when braking
-
Rear end “squats” when accelerating
-
Excessive bouncing or sideways slides on rough roads
-
Your vehicle “bottoming out”
Once you take it to Stittsville Automotive Service the first things that we look for are:
-
Leaks on housing
-
Dents on the strut or shock body
-
Worn rubber mounting bushings
-
Abnormal tire wear
-
Damaged compression bumpers
-
Damaged protective boots
Have you ever stopped to think how much contact your car actually has with the road? Your car (and YOU) stays on the road because of 4 hand-sized pieces of rubber compound. Let’s keep your tires properly inflated and rotated and replace your tires when the tread is worn.
But there’s more to it than that. Your tires can also be an early warning system for other problems.
- Are they worn on only one side? An alignment will help to solve that problem and improve your car’s fuel efficiency.
- Does your car shake at certain speeds? It may need a wheel balance. A very slight difference in the weight from one half of your tire to the other can create a powerful vibration at high speeds.
- Worn shocks can create other difficulties with your tires.
Loss of control of any vehicle will endanger lives of others on the road. If you are concerned about your car, call us today. We will carefully examine your car and give you the options you want to repair the situation.
