Suspension FAQs
-
What are the signs of a worn out suspension?
The signs of a worn-out suspension include unusually a rough or bumpy ride. Uneven tire wear could mean that the vehicle is out of alignment.
If your vehicle pulls to one side or you hear excessive noise such as clunking or squeaking when navigating over bumps or during turns can also be indicative of deteriorating suspension parts.
-
How long does it take to fix a suspension system?
Generally, a straightforward repair or replacement of minor components such as shock absorbers or struts may take approximately two to three hours. However, more extensive suspension repairs involving multiple components or complex systems could extend the timeframe to a full day or more.
-
What does a damaged suspension sound like?
A damaged suspension system in a vehicle typically sounds like a persistent clunking or knocking noise, especially over uneven terrain or potholes. This sound is often indicative of worn-out or broken components such as struts, shocks, or control arms.
If you hear squeaking noises in those situations, it could mean that the vehicle bushings or joints need lubrication or replacement. If you hear rattling noises, you should get to an auto repair shop immediately. This could mean a loosening or disconnect of parts of your suspension system.
-
Is it okay to drive a car with a bad suspension?
Driving a car with a compromised suspension system is generally not a good idea for your personal safety. It could also lead to more costly auto repairs.
