What is Suspension Service?

For most drivers, they pay little attention to the health of their suspension unless it begins to affect how their vehicle drives. If your car, truck, SUV, or minivan squeaks, bounces, sways, or if your steering gets more difficult, it may mean you need to have your suspension repaired at Mack Grubs Hyundai.

If your vehicle is turning too forcefully, the rear end drags when you accelerate, or if your front-end nosedives when you brake, these could all be symptoms of suspension troubles. If your suspension is damaged, it may feel like you have lost some control, and the truth is you have. The leaning, the dragging, the nosediving are warnings of increased rollover risks and increased stopping times. Servicing the suspension can take care of those issues and keep you safe on the road.

    Signs of Suspension Damage

    If your suspension is damaged, there are several signs that can alert you to the problems:

    • A corner of your vehicle sits lower than the others. This can mean you have a broken spring.
    • โ€œBounce Testโ€ failure: Lean your body weight on the front of your parked vehicle and step away quickly. Watch your vehicleโ€™s response, if it bounces more than twice, you may have a problem with your shocks or struts.
    • If you inspect your tire tread and you spot a specific uneven pattern of wear called โ€œcuppingโ€.
    • If you see obvious damage to the shocks or struts, or you notice oil or grease to parts of your suspension like the shocks or struts.
    • If you notice squeaking noises when you turn or press on the brakes.

    Other symptoms are noticeable when you drive, for example:

    • Rougher than usual ride.
    • Braking responses facilitate leaning forward, backward, or to the side on your vehicle.
    • If you notice drifting or pulling around turns, it can mean bad shocks.
    • If your vehicle pulls or drifts one way or the other on a straight stretch of road, it can mean a suspension problem, steering issues, problems with your tires, or problems with your brakes.
      If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, contact us at Mack Grubbs Hyundai and set up an appointment with our Service Center or you can schedule it yourself online.
