Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn shock absorbers?
If a car feels bouncy after hitting a bump, struggles to stay stable around corners or takes longer to stop, it may mean the shock absorbers are worn. Leaking oil around the shocks is another clear indicator.
How does suspension impact braking distance?
A healthy suspension keeps the tyres firmly on the road. When components are worn, the car may nose-dive under braking, reducing grip and extending the distance needed to stop safely.
Can suspension problems affect steering?
Yes, worn suspension components can make steering less precise. The car may wander on straight roads or feel harder to control in corners, which makes driving more tiring and less safe.
Common Suspension Problems Explained
Suspension issues can show up in different ways, from clunking noises over bumps to uneven tyre wear or the car sitting lower on one side. You might also notice poor handling, longer stopping distances or steering that feels less responsive. These problems are often caused by worn shocks, damaged springs or failing bushings. Leaving them unchecked can affect braking, stability and driver confidence. Addressing suspension faults early not only restores ride comfort but also prevents further damage to tyres, brakes and other components connected to the system.
