When does your car’s steering and suspension parts need replacement?

If your your car is not steering as it should or if your ride is tougher than usual, don’t blame it all on poor road conditions. These could be a signal of unknown defects in your car’s steering parts and suspension system.

The problem of the steering slipping while making turns or difficulty in holding the wheel in a turning position usually denotes a problem with the fluid levels in your steering system. You must check the fluid levels and add more power-steering fluid if required to enjoy smooth ride.

Your car’s steering may be pulled to one side due to poor wheel alignment, wearing out or sticking of brakes and of other steering parts and components. 

Likewise, if your car continues to bounce after hitting a bump, you must look into your car’s suspension needs. Such a problem is caused by broken and worn out shocks and struts and leaf springs. If you hear a clunking sound when hitting the bump, it might be the suspension noise that is produced by loose ball joints.

Since your ability to steer is directly linked to your car’ suspension system and steering parts, do get your car checked by a local auto care expert. Auto care experts check your steering and suspension system and parts thoroughly and provide valuable advice and services to ensure proper and safe functioning of your car’s steering and suspension parts.
