Nissan Suspension Service Near Buford, GA

What Does Suspension Service Do?

Generally, drivers don’t give a second thought to suspension unless the ride gets rough. The bouncing and squeaking and the rough feel of the drive are the least of your worries if you have a suspension problem. You may have noticed your vehicle leaning into a turn more than it used to, or the back of your vehicle dragging the pavement when you accelerate, or you hit the brakes, and the front end taking a nosedive. All of these are signs of potential suspension issues, and it can make you feel unsafe, like you are losing control of your vehicle. Suspension services give control back to you.

How Can I Know for Sure If I Have Suspension Problems?

When it comes to your suspension, there are some visible signs that can alert you to problems, but the way your vehicle handles will likely be your first clue. Some of the observable signs through sights and sounds include:

• Tire treads are developing a strange wear pattern.
• You spot oil, grease, or other fluids leaking from your suspension, or you see visible damage.
• A corner of your vehicle seems to be sitting lower than the others when your vehicle is at rest on an even surface.
• You hear squeaking when turning or braking.
• Your vehicle fails the “bounce test”- this test is performed when you park on a nice flat hard surface, you lean all of your weight on the front of your vehicle, then simply step away quickly and observe how your vehicle responds. If the vehicle bounces over two times, it may mean problems with shocks or struts.

If you are driving your vehicle and something seems “off” about your ride you may have suspension issues:

• Rougher ride than normal.
• Your vehicle leans to one side, forward, or backward when you apply your brakes.
• Your vehicle pulls to a side when on a straight stretch of road, which can mean suspension, tire, steering, or brake issue.
• Your vehicle pulls or drifts to the side around turns, which can mean bad shocks.
