Your Hyundai is designed to serve you well for many, many years, but even the best designed vehicle can, over time, suffer from suspension issues. The suspension system plays a vital role in your car’s handling, and safety—it absorbs road shocks, keeps your tires in contact with the pavement, and ensures stability during turns or sudden stops.
Components of the suspension system include shocks or struts, springs, control arms, ball joints, and bushings. Potholes, rough roads, and normal wear can and does take a toll over time – and considering the sorry state of the Bay Area roads, suspension issues are likely.
Here are some signs that can alert you to suspension problems:
- Nose Dives or Squats: When the front dips forward during braking or the rear squats when accelerating, it’s another sign of likely suspension issues.
- Bumpy or Rough Ride: this typically indicates worn shocks or struts.
- Uneven Tire Wear: likely cause is misalignment or suspension problems.
- Pulling or Drifting: If your Hyundai pulls to one side while driving or braking, suspension should be inspected by professionals.
