signs for damaged or worn out shocks, struts and suspension
Clunking Noises and Bumpy Ride
Clunking sounds may indicate something is broken underneath the vehicle’s body. A super bumpy ride is caused by worn-out or damaged struts and/or shocks.
Unstable Vehicle Body
You shouldn’t feel your vehicle rock forward, backward, or sideways you turn, stop or move forward.
Sinking Vehicle Frame
If you notice your vehicle leaning to one tire when it’s parked, you’ve probably broken a suspension spring or springs.
Uneven Tire Wear
Uneven tire wear may suggest your vehicle suspension needs repaired or replaced.
Oil On Your Shocks
If your shocks are leaking fluid, time to be examined.
Bounce Test
Push down on your vehicle’s front end with all your might a few times and then let it go. If your automobile bounces more than a few times, your struts are worn. Push on the rear to test the shocks.
