Shocks and Struts

What Does My Suspension Do?

There are a lot of different parts that make up your suspension, but its job is to essentially absorb a lot of the impact that your car received on the road. For example, if you roll over a pothole, your suspension is going to do its best to absorb that shock so that you have smooth handling.

• Your Struts: Your struts support your springs, which is why you might run into trouble if they start to wear away.
• Your Shocks: When you're driving over uneven terrain, it's natural for your car to bounce. Your shocks aim to minimize this movement so that you can stay in control behind the wheel.

It can be hard to know if something is wrong with your suspension if you're not a mechanic. If you're worried about your vehicle, and you're near Plano, Dallas, or Lewisville, then you can visit us at Premier Autos of Dallas for a quick inspection.

Is My Suspension Damaged?

There are a few different ways to tell if your suspension is damaged.

• What You Can Feel: When you're behind the wheel, your car might feel unstable. It might lean when you turn, or it may even lean forward when you try to stop. You'll also want to take note of any bouncing. When your suspension is damaged, your car might feel stiffer than normal, or it might start to bounce excessively. Your car might not feel as responsive when you drive as well. If you notice changes in steering, or your car is suddenly a lot louder than normal, then you can visit our service department for a quick inspection.
• What You Can See: When your suspension is damaged, your tires might show signs of uneven wear. You can also check the shocks and struts themselves. You should look for rust, corrosion, or other signs of damage. You should also take note of any leaking fluids.
