3 SIGNS YOUR CAR’S STEERING AND SUSPENSION NEEDS ATTENTION
If something is not right with your vehicle’s steering and suspension, you may be in for a rough drive. If you notice some of these signs, don’t hesitate to take your vehicle to your nearest Tires Plus. Common signs of steering and suspension troubles include:
1. VEHICLES PULLING TO ONE SIDE
- Your vehicle pulls left or right even when the steering wheel is straight
- Your steering wheel is stiff and takes more effort to turn
- Your steering wheel is crooked even though you are driving straight
- This could be a sign your wheels are not aligned or potential damage to parts of your car’s suspension and steering system
2. BOUNCING OVER UNEVEN ROADS
- Your car bounces excessively over bumps and dips in the road
- Your car stability is off, and it feels like it is floating
- This could be a sign coil springs, shocks, or struts are damaged and not smoothing out the movement of your vehicle
3. KNOCKING SOUNDS OR SQUEAKS COMING FROM CAR’S FRONT OR REAR END
- You notice squeaking or clunking when your vehicle turns or absorbs bumps on the road
- Squeaking could be a sign of wear across suspension joints and steering components that need lubrication
- Knocking towards the front or rear of a vehicle could be a sign that suspension components like tie rods, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, or ball joints are failing

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLE SUSPENSION
Your suspension system does the important job of keeping your car stable. Taking care of your tires and wheel alignment can benefit your vehicle’s suspension system overall, since these systems are closely interconnected. Paying attention to tire pressure, tread depth, and how your vehicle handles are just some ways you can support the longevity of your car’s suspension system.
HOW MUCH DO STEERING AND SUSPENSION SERVICES COST?
The cost of steering and suspension services will vary depending on what needs attention (like shocks, struts, power steering) and whether key parts can be repaired or need replacement. Keeping up with wheel alignment services and regularly having your steering and suspension system inspected can help you avoid unnecessary wear and tear on these important systems.
HOW OFTEN TO GET STEERING AND SUSPENSION CHECKED
You should prepare to bring your vehicle in for a routine steering and suspension inspection according to the intervals set in your owner's manual. It's a good rule of thumb to have these systems checked anytime the wheels are going to be lifted off the ground. For routine inspections, our experts at Tires Plus will check your vehicle’s key steering and suspension system components like shocks, struts, coil springs, power steering and more. We can also check your vehicle's alignment to see if one is needed. If you notice anything off before a routine inspection, bringing in your vehicle early can help you head off potentially expensive damage to these systems.
