A car’s suspension system is an integral part of its mechanical hardware. It suspends tires and more importantly, bears the weight of the vehicle through its complex assembly comprising mainly of shock absorbers and struts.It is important to note that without the proper working of the suspension, one won’t be able to handle the car properly especially during negotiating a turn or applying the brake.we list down some of the important indicators as follows:-

​

1. Bumpy Ride: Have you suddenly started experiencing bumps inside the car? If yes, then it is one of the most apparent indicators of the worn-out suspension system. If you start feeling every pothole and even small undulations on the road filtering directly into the cabin, it’s an indication that you are car’s suspension system has damaged and required some corrective maintenance.                                                                                                                              

2. Unnerving Turns: If during negotiating a turn, you feel that the car is drifting or pulling then it means that all is not well with the suspension. This happens because the suspension of the car is not able to contain the vehicle against the impact of centrifugal forces.                                                                                                                                                            

3.  Nose-Diving: In case of a worn-out suspension system, you might also start experiencing the phenomenon of nose-diving. In nose-diving, you feel that the car’s body lurches forward when you apply the brake.                                                                                                                            

4. Uneven tire wear: If you notice uneven tire wear with some bald patches appearing on one tire while none on another, it’s time to get suspension system of your car checked. This is an indication that the suspension of the car is not able to hold tires evenly and might require replacement of the damaged shock absorbers or struts. Tire treads can also wear unevenly on account of misalignment and wrong balancing.                                                                                              

5. Leaky Suspension: Slip beneath the car and if you notice any oil-leakage from the suspension system, it’s time to visit the workshop.
