So, how do you know that your suspension is starting to show its age? Well, the good news is that it’s pretty easy to tell – You’re definitely going to feel a difference. Below are some examples of common suspension problem symptoms so that you can see what we mean:
When your suspension isn’t in good shape, you’ll almost always notice it in your steering. You might pull a bit to the left or right, for instance, when you’re casually holding the wheel.
As your suspension becomes compromised, your vehicle might get a little bouncier when you drive – especially when you cross a bump. Dipping and bouncing occurs when a suspension is compromised because areas of the system are wearing down, because the unevenly distributed force is putting more wear and tear on specific areas. To put it simply, it’s bouncing because it’s no longer in full control of the force that it’s supposed to be managing.
If the front of your vehicle is dipping when you stop, then your suspension is definitely having issues, likely in the form of worn-out struts or shocks.
When weight and force is not being properly distributed, then one or more tires are having to deal with more force than usual. You’ll notice the change in weight distribution as you drive and the tire treads will help to confirm right away what is going on.

You could, but then you can do a lot of unsafe things in life – it’s just not a very good idea at all! When your suspension is off, it’s not distributing shock from your tires correctly, which can put undue pressure on them.
This accelerates wear and tear and what’s more, your vehicle isn’t going to be level, either. From a practical standpoint, that means that a sharp turn might well turn into a roll and your tires might even burst from pressure and thinned-out treads and further reduce your control of the vehicle at the worst possible time.
Driving on a damaged suspension is not a good idea – Get your vehicle to an expert right away!
You’re going to want to speak with your mechanic to get the real answer to this question. A seasoned technician who knows your vehicle like we do at Louden Motorcars will be able to assess the current state of your suspension system and make recommendations.
If damage is minimal, say from the normal wearing-down of parts, then likely these parts can be replaced and you can go your merry way. Should the damage be more extensive, however, then replacement may well be the best option – and no one can tell you for sure unless they’ve had an actual look at its current state.
Car suspension repair just refers to the repair and replacement of things like your springs, ball joints, shocks, control arms, and struts… All components of your suspension system. When your suspension becomes compromised by a fender bender or the simple inevitability of parts wearing down, then it needs a little tender loving care – It’s as simple as that.
As your suspension is there to absorb shock from the tires and to keep your vehicle level (and this is a very simplified explanation), it’s vital that you keep it at its best with your manufacturer’s recommended regular preventative maintenance.
