Common Steering and Suspension Problems

Specialist mechanics in this field tend to be heavily experienced with both steering and suspension systems in vehicles as the two are intrinsically linked. Issues with your steering may affect your suspension and suspension issues will often have strong negative impacts on the steering mechanisms in your car. It’s worth having your chosen professional give both systems a look over if you’re experiencing trouble with either of them.

Alignment and Drift

A lot of the time issues with your steering may actually be issues with the alignment of your wheels. Your steering systems are calibrated on the assumption that the alignment of your wheels is in a particular direction. If your wheels are out of alignment with how your steering wheel is set up then the responsive of your vehicle may feel unusual. The alignment of your wheels can also drift over time if not checked, so it is always worth having regular services not just checking it when it seems off.

Fluid Level Issues

Particuarly in cars with a power steering system, fluid level issues or leaks can cause steering difficulties. If low fluid or leaking fluid issues are emerging in your vehicle you may find it harder to turn your steering wheel, or find that it feels like your wheel is catching. Your steering system could feel unresponsive or clunky as the lubricant is no longer helping those mechanics move as designed. You can check the fluid levels in your power steering just like you would check your regular oil. But if you’re finding there are consistent issues with the fluid levels then a service for your steering system may be required.

Suspension Wear & Tear

Issues with your suspension are often quite noticeable when they start to get serious. It’s hard to miss when your drive has started to become a bumpy ride and the reason is often issues with your suspension system, whether from word down or broken strings or from more serious faults within our steering mechanics. Your suspension keeps your safe and comfortable in the jostles of driving so make sure it’s functional. If you find that your car jerks forward when you break, ricochets backwards while accelerating or sways to the side while turning there may be some wear on your shock absorbers. If the ride is particularly bumpy even on relatively flat roads, there could be issues with your springs. And if your car is sitting lower on one side, which you may notice by it clunking against curbs or the road, then it’s worth having someone check it out to get everything back to level.

What to expect from a Steering and Suspension service.

Your steering and suspension service will include a full check up of all aspects of the systems. They’ll check your shock absorbers and springs to make sure nothing has worn down and needs to be replaced. They will always perform a wheel alignment to ensure that you leave the service driving straight! Having these services regularly will not only ensure that the steering and suspension systems are in ship shape but they will also protect the lifespan of your tyres as issues with suspension, or your steering causing drift to happen, can create additional wear on your tyre threads.
