A properly-functioning suspension system is essential for a smooth and controlled ride. It absorbs bumps, supports handling, and helps keep your tires in proper contact with the road. When suspension issues arise, they can affect your safety, comfort, and even the lifespan of your tires, making it important to address such problems ASAP. At A-1 Automotive, we provide expert suspension repair in the greater Portland, OR area. Here are five common signs that your suspension may need repairs. Excessively Bumpy Ride One of the most noticeable signs of suspension trouble is a ride that feels unusually rough. If you feel every bump in the road or your car bounces excessively after hitting a pothole, your shocks or struts may be worn out. These components are designed to dampen movement and keep your ride smooth. Once they begin to fail, you’ll likely experience more jarring movements during everyday driving. Pulling or Drifting While Turning If your vehicle feels like it’s pulling to one side or drifting while turning, it could be a sign of a suspension problem. The suspension system is responsible for keeping the vehicle stable and balanced during cornering. If it’s not functioning properly, your car may lean or sway more than it should. This can increase your risk of losing control in sharp turns. Uneven Tire Wear When your suspension is compromised, it can cause uneven pressure on your tires. As a result, you might notice one or more tires wearing down more quickly or unevenly than the others. This is often due to misalignment or faulty suspension components that are no longer holding the wheels at the correct angle. Regular tire inspections can help spot this problem early. Nose Dives while Braking A healthy suspension system helps maintain vehicle balance during braking. If the front of your car dips sharply when braking, it’s a good indication that your shocks aren’t doing their job. This can reduce braking efficiency, which can be dangerous during emergency stops. Oily Shocks If you visually inspect your shocks and notice they look oily, it likely means they’re leaking fluid. Shocks rely on hydraulic fluid to absorb impacts, so a leak means they’re no longer able to perform properly. Any signs of leakage should prompt immediate service to avoid further complications. Suspension Repair in Portland, OR When you need auto repair in Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA, visit A-1 Automotive. At our nearby auto shop, we can expertly handle your car’s repair and maintenance needs. Feel free to give us a call to make an appointment!
