Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of suspension problems in a vehicle?
Common signs of suspension issues include a rough or bouncy ride, uneven tyre wear, clunking or knocking noises over bumps, poor handling, and the vehicle pulling to one side. You may also notice the car sitting lower on one corner or nose-diving when braking. These symptoms often indicate worn shock absorbers, damaged springs, or issues with suspension bushings or joints. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to accelerated tyre wear, reduced braking performance, and unsafe driving conditions—so it’s important to have your suspension inspected as soon as problems arise.
What causes steering to feel loose or unresponsive?
Loose or unresponsive steering can be caused by several issues, including worn tie rods, a damaged steering rack, loose steering column components, or worn ball joints. Low or leaking power steering fluid can also affect steering response. In some cases, alignment issues or suspension problems can give the impression of vague or delayed steering. A thorough inspection is necessary to identify the root cause and ensure that the vehicle remains safe and predictable to drive.
Can poor suspension affect tyre wear?
Yes, poor suspension can significantly impact tyre wear. Worn shocks, struts, or bushings can cause uneven pressure distribution on the tyres, leading to scalloping, feathering, or excessive inner or outer edge wear. Misaligned suspension components can also affect wheel alignment, which directly influences how tyres make contact with the road. Left untreated, this not only reduces the lifespan of the tyres but can compromise handling and fuel efficiency. Regular suspension checks and alignments help maintain even tyre wear and overall vehicle stability.
