SYMPTOMS OF WORN SHOCKS & STRUTS!!!
-Noticed Your Vehicle Driving Rough? Here Are A Few Clues That You May Have Worn Down Struts OR Shocks...
*NOSE DIVE WHEN BRAKING "feels like the front end of your car dips quickly toward the ground when you hit your brakes"
*BOUNCY RIDE "Excessive bouncing when you hit a bump can be a signal that your shocks and struts aren’t working effectively"
*VEHICLE ROLLS OR SWAYS WHEN CORNERING "As shocks wear, they can lose their ability to control the rate of weight transfer when going around corners"
*UNEVEN TIRE WEAR "When your vehicle’s shocks and struts are worn out, the car can bounce, causing a reduction in road holding force. This bouncing can also cause accelerated tire wear including cupping or scalloping of the tires (when pieces of rubber are gouged out of the tire)"
*LEAKING FLUID ON EXTERIOR OF SHOCKS/STRUTS "If you notice excessive hydraulic fluid leaking from your shocks or struts, it can be a sign they’re wearing out. If the seals fail, then the fluid that is essential to the proper function of your shocks and struts is escaping."
