Signs My Suspension Needs Servicing Or Repair

Tired of feeling like your being jarred around in your vehicle and wondering if your suspension needs help? Come on it to visit one of your technicians. Some of the main signs that your suspension needs some TLC:

  • Car Dips or Nose-dives When Stopping: Ever felt like you were in an airplane more than your own car due to the nose-dives your car takes when you go to stop? When slowing down and pressing on the brake, if your car is dipping or nose-diving, it is time to get in to one of our technicians.
  • Vibrations While Driving: Has someone told you recently that they felt like their bones were practically shaking loose after riding in your vehicle with you? If so, you best give us a call to look at your suspension.
  • Feeling of Floating or Bouncing After Hitting a Bump: If your car continues to bounce or “float” after hitting a bump, you need to have your suspension looked at.
  • Car Sinks or Tilts to One Side: If you find your vehicle in the parking lot by looking for the one that is sunk down, don’t wait to make an appointment to have your suspension looked at.
  • Difficulty Steering: If steering becomes harder or feels unresponsive, especially when turning or going over bumps, the issue could be linked to your suspension system. Worn-out suspension components can cause the steering system to malfunction.
  • Uneven Tire Wear: Feel like you are replacing your tires more often than your neighbors and they drive less than you? Your suspension can contribute to your tires wearing out faster than usual if parts are breaking down or out of alignment.
  • Car Pulling to One Side: Have you ever been out driving and noticed that your car is constantly pulling to one side? That’s not normal and needs to be addressed.
  • Rough or Bumpy Ride: If your car feels unusually bouncy or stiff when driving over bumps or rough roads, it could indicate that your suspension is not absorbing shocks as it should. This could mean worn-out shock absorbers or struts.

Common FAQs About Suspension Repair

What are the signs of suspension problems?
Things you can look out for are uneven tire wear, an unsettling bumpy ride, or difficulty turning your wheel and keeping things in control at higher speeds.
How often should I check my suspension system?
Get your suspension check every 12,000 miles or every year to ensure your ride is smooth and safe.
Does Lancer Service replace shocks and struts?
Yes, we have technical experts who specialize in suspension services like shock and strut replacements.
Can suspension repairs improve my vehicle's performance?
Yes, repairing or upgrading suspension parts can improve your vehicle’s handling, stability, and overall driving experience. Your car’s overall performance can save you money in the long run.
Should I replace all suspension components at once?
We recommended replacing suspension components in pairs, such as both front shock absorbers or both rear struts, to maintain balanced handling and stability. In some cases, if multiple components are worn out, it may save you money in the long run to replace them all at once.
How long does suspension repair take
When you come into the shop and our technicians are able to assess the problem, we can let you know an estimate. The time it takes to repair a suspension system depends on the severity of the issue and the parts that need to be replaced. A simple shock absorber replacement might take a few hours, while more extensive repairs like replacing control arms or struts could take a full day.
Can suspension problems affect my alignment?
Yes, suspension issues can affect the alignment of your vehicle. If you drive with worn-out parts, you can cause your wheels to go out of alignment. It then is like a trickle effect and small problems can turn into big ones.
