Shocks and Struts

Your suspension system has to handle the entire weight of your vehicle, including passengers and other cargo, while traversing over several bumps and dips that occur on the roads you drive every day. Shocks and struts are two main components that make this possible, helping to absorb the impact and keep your car from bouncing all over the place. Shocks and struts can wear over time so you should perform regular inspection on them to know when they need replacing. You can also pay attention to different signs that they might be wearing out. Failing to replace your shocks and struts when needed can make it hard to maintain proper control of your vehicle on the road. One of the most obvious signs that your shocks and struts might be wearing out is a bumpier ride than usual. Apart from this, you might have difficulty steering. If your steering wheel is feeling stiff or that your car is leaning when you go to take a turn, you should look into getting new shocks or struts. Another thing that you might notice if your suspension system is wearing out is uneven tread wear on your car's tires.
