4 Signs Your Car Needs Suspension Repair

What to Know

Regardless of the kind of vehicle you own, each one relies on a suspension system to support the vehicle's weight, assist the driver with maximum control, and allow for the best possible passenger comfort. You should know that this collection of components is important even though you probably don't think about it every day, and your auto is likely to eventually need suspension work. However, you don't have to worry when you know that Hetrick's Tire & Auto Service in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, offers expert suspension repair. Our friendly and professional staff can assist you with auto repair services for either domestic or imported automobiles.

What to Watch For

Although it's a great idea to have us inspect your vehicle's suspension periodically to catch any developing problems early, some tell-tale signs you might notice should prompt you to schedule a visit. For instance, you may notice a decline in your ride quality. Specifically, you may feel bumps in the road to a greater extent than you once did. This not only applies to your comfort and smoothness of ride, but you may also feel that your car continues to bounce too long after crossing a dip or that your vehicle's nose takes a dip each time you come to a stop. Also, you may begin to hear odd noises, typically a squeaking sound, as you cross uneven surfaces. In addition, your vehicle may become difficult to steer, particularly in curves or as you're turning corners. Finally, you may literally be able to see the impact of suspension trouble. If your car is sitting sideways or sagging when it's parked on level ground and not overloaded, it likely has a suspension problem.
