Suspension issues are a very common problem on cars, especially in certain areas of the country where the roads are in such disrepair. Drivers are reporting having to replace at least one suspension component every year, which isn’t helped by the number of potholes in the road.
There are a number of different parts that make up the car suspension system. Shock absorbers and coil springs are often common suspension parts that need replacing as over time they will wear down. There are a few tests you can do yourself to find out if your suspension needs so attention, but often you will have already noticed an issue when driving.
If you find that the car is making a lot of noise, particularly when driving over a bumpy road, then you may need your suspension looking at. It can be easy to ignore suspension issues for a good while but doing this is not only unsafe but also increases the risk of further damage being caused.
Most garages will be able to have a look at your suspension system and advise you if any parts need replacing. Some garages offer a free suspension check.
