Without the suspension system, your vehicle would be out of control. A car cannot move without a proper suspension system. A vehicle's suspension system comprises wheels, tires, shocks absorbers, springs, and every other part that forms a connection between the car body and the tires. The job of a suspension system is stability and keeping all of your vehicle's tires on the ground at all times. Your vehicle's suspension cushions all the bumps and jolts you experience when driving and keeps your passengers comfortable and safe throughout the ride. 

Suspension Inspections Will Pick-Up On Any Issues

Wear and tear, bumps, potholes, and other road irregularities will cause suspension damage. The steering and suspension system should be checked annually to prevent major repairs. Utilizing the most advanced diagnostic equipment, Radial Tire Company in Silver Spring, MD, can accurately diagnose even the most complex suspension repair issue.

3 Signs My Car Needs Suspension Repair

When the suspension becomes worn out, it can affect your car’s ability to stop and turn. If these problems are ignored, they can make your vehicle extremely unsafe to drive. Here are three significant signs to watch out for. If you experience any of these, and you know it’s time for suspension repair.

• Car Rides Rough: Worn suspension components such as the shocks and struts will cause you to feel every bump in the road and the vehicle to bounce. A rough ride is an obvious sign that your vehicle's suspension needs repair.
• Drifting or Pulling When Turning: If you feel the vehicle drift or pull when you're turning, the shocks no longer keep the vehicle body stable against the centrifugal force of a turn. This will increase your risk of a rollover. You need immediate suspension repair service
• Nosedive When Stopping: When the shocks are worn out, the vehicle body can lurch forward and downward nose-first when you apply the brakes firmly. A bad suspension can increase stop time by up to 20 percent and affects your ability to stop the car quickly.
