How will you know if your car has suspension problems?
Is there any way to tell if your car has suspension problems? I drove my friend to a ball game and she said that I should get it checked out. How can I tell if there are any issues with my suspension?

Great question! To see if there’s a problem with your suspension system, you should keep a lookout for any telltale signs of suspension damage. The suspension system is made of many different pieces that work together to control how well your car handles the road, and most suspension issues will impact how well your car drives.
Here are some common symptoms of suspension system damage:
- Difficulty steering
- One side is lower than the other
- Drifting when turning corners
- Excessively bumpy rides
- Extreme bouncing after hitting bumps
Your car can still drive with minor suspension problems, but you should still
get your vehicle checked
out as soon as possible. Serious suspension issues could cause your car to break down, so it’s better to stay on the safe side and take it to a mechanic.If you want to make sure that your car insurance is in as good shape as your car, you may want to take a moment to review your insurance policy.
