  • Luckily, suspension problems are some of the most noticeable issues a vehicle can have. Signs of a damaged suspension include:

    • One corner of your vehicle sits lower than the others

    • Your ride feels rougher than usual

    • You hear squeaking when braking or turning

    • Vehicle pulls or drifts to one side while driving straight or taking turns

    • If you lean on the front of your parked vehicle and move away quickly, it bounces more than twice

    • Vehicle leans backward, forward, or to one side when you brake

    • You see grease, oil, or obvious wear on your struts or shocks

    • You notice uneven wear on your tire treads

    Driving with a bad suspension puts you at higher risk of rolling over or failing to stop quickly enough in an emergency, so get on down to First Tire & Automotive as soon as you can if you’re experiencing suspension problems.

  • Power steering makes today’s vehicles much easier to drive, so it can be a problem when it starts causing issues. Signs you have a power steering problem include:

    • Dirty or low power steering fluid

    • Noise when turning the steering wheel

    • Vibrating steering wheel

    • Change in steering response — steering wheel feels stiff or slow to respond

  • Several issues can cause steering problems, including:

    • Broken or loose drive belt

    • Worn power steering pump

    • Low power steering fluid pressure

    • Contaminated power steering fluid
