What Does the Suspension System Do?
Your car’s suspension system is responsible for more than just a comfortable ride. It plays a critical role in vehicle stability, steering control, and overall safety. Key components like shocks, struts, springs, and control arms help absorb road impact and keep your tires in proper contact with the ground. If any part of this system becomes damaged or worn out, it can affect your braking, handling, and alignment.
Regular suspension maintenance can prevent:
- Bumpy or unstable rides
- Excessive tire wear
- Steering difficulty or vibrations
- Uneven vehicle height or sagging corners
- Increased stopping distances
Signs You Need Suspension Repair
Suspension issues can develop gradually, making them easy to overlook until performance starts to suffer. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to schedule a professional suspension inspection:
- Vehicle pulls or drifts while driving
- Bouncing excessively after hitting bumps
- Uneven or premature tire wear
- Clunking, knocking, or creaking noises
- Visible fluid leaks from shocks or struts
- Steering feels stiff, loose, or imprecise
- Nosedives during braking or sways in turns
At F & M Automotive, we don’t just guess—we thoroughly inspect all suspension components to pinpoint the root cause and recommend only what’s necessary to keep you safe on the road.

Why Suspension Repair Matters
