Your suspension system helps you maintain control of your car. It can also give you a smooth ride even if you are driving on a bumpy road. It works by using shock absorbers and springs to soften the bumps on the road. If your suspension needs repair, then there are many signs that you will likely notice. Your car may have braking problems. Your car may not stop or start the way that it used to.
Your vehicle may also make unusual noises. Your car should not clank or squeak every time that you hit a bump. Additionally, your vehicle may bounce excessively. Your car may sway excessively while you are driving. It is also a good idea for you to do the bounce test. Push down hard on the front of the car. The car shouldn't bounce more than three times.
