Hello! Welcome to Part 2 of our blog series “6 Signs That Mean Your Car Needs A Suspension Repair!” In the first segment, we - your local car repair shop near New Richmond WI, Tire Pros & Wheel Experts - discussed 3 common symptoms your car shows when it needs a suspension repair near New Richmond WI. In this article, we’ll discuss 3 more such telltale signs. 

Lots Of Squeaking

Ball joints are pivot points that connect the suspension to the wheels, and as the steering angle varies, they absorb some of the shock from vertical motion as they rotate along with the steering. When you can hear them squeaking and creaking, particularly when turning, you'll know they need to be replaced. If a ball joint splits and suspension components drag on the floor, you need to get a suspension repair in New Richmond WI immediately. For more information, feel free to contact the best auto body shop near New Richmond WI at Tire Pros & Wheel Experts today! 

What About Rattling

Control arms are hinges that hold the wheels to the frame and connect the steering to the wheels. In short, these are the components that actually make the wheels turn when you move your steering. Lower control arm bushings are vital suspension components. Bushings are components of rubber and/or metal that help absorb shock, and as they wear, they may cause problems with riding and handling and accelerate tire wear (more likely to do so on a front-wheel-drive car than on a rear-wheel-drive one). Signs of wear include clunks or rattles — because the wheels move back and forth in acceleration and braking — and loose, imprecise steering.

Knock-Knock

A knocking sound when going over bumps is a common sign of trouble if your vehicle's suspension has struts rather than shock absorbers. In many cars , trucks and SUVs, the strut assembly is a critical element of the suspension system, so if you suspect a problem, see your mechanic immediately. You will not be able to drive your car safely if this component of your suspension fails.
