When you think about servicing your car, steering and suspension may not be at the top of the list, but they should be. The steering and suspension systems in your vehicle are critical for your safety and comfort while driving because they ensure a smooth ride as your car travels over bumpy roads.
When you turn, you may notice that the vehicle “drifts” or “pulls” which could indicated there is likely a suspension system issue. To put it simply, this means that your vehicle is no longer able to resist gravitational force, increasing your risk of a rollover when you turn. This is a sign that you should visit us at Foreman’s Auto in Langley
If you notice your car pulling to one side or the other while driving, the issue is most likely with your tires, shock absorbers, or brakes.
To ensure a smooth ride, tires must be precisely aligned (camber, caster, and toe-in). Examine your tire treads to see if they are wearing evenly, and ensure that they are properly inflated, as over-or under-inflated tires can impair your driving stability. If your car is pulling to one side, schedule an appointment on our website or visit us at 5718 198 St. Langley, BC, V3A 7C7.
While applying the brakes firmly on a worn-out vehicle, you may feel the vehicle’s body lurching forward and downward nose-first. This could have an effect on your ability to come to a quick stop while driving (a bad suspension can increase stop time by up to 20 percent). If you find yourself searching “why is my car dipping forward?”, schedule an appointment on our website or visit us at 5718 198 St. Langley, BC, V3A 7C7.
