Signs of Bad Shocks & Struts
Nose-dive when braking?
Does it feel like the front end of your car dips quickly toward the ground when you hit your brakes?
Bouncy ride?
Excessive bouncing when you hit a bump can be a signal that your shocks and struts aren’t working effectively.
Vehicle rolls or sways when cornering?
Feeling like your vehicle is swaying or rolling when making a turn is not only annoying, it is unsettling because you can feel like you aren’t in control of your car.
Uneven tire wear?
When your vehicle’s shocks and struts are worn out, the car can bounce, causing a reduction in road holding force.
This bouncing can also cause accelerated tire wear.
Unusual noises?
When shocks and struts are worn out, you may hear a clunking or knocking sound.
Leaking fluid on the exterior of shocks/struts?
If you notice excessive hydraulic fluid leaking from your shocks or struts, it can be a sign they’re wearing out.
If the seals fail, the fluid essential to the proper function of your shocks and struts is escaping.
Then it might be time to have your Struts and Shocks checked!
