5 Symptoms of Common Car Suspension Problems
1. Bumpy Ride/Reduced Ride Quality
When driving your vehicle and noticing a bumpy ride or an unpleasant driving experience that you are not used to from your INFINITI, the suspension may be having an issue. Normal wear and tear, along with damage from driving over potholes and rough roads, can cause your suspension to require service or repairs.
2. Handling Issues Around Corners
A failing suspension can compromise your vehicle’s handling, which is often most noticeable when taking corners. If your INFINITI isn’t handling everyday driving like it used to, it may be time to have the suspension checked, especially after winter in Toronto, when potholes can contribute to suspension damage.
3. Uneven Tire Wear
When your suspension is not functioning properly, it can affect your wheel alignment and lead to uneven tire wear. Depending on which suspension component is failing, the wear pattern may vary. It’s a good idea to have your suspension inspected if you notice uneven tire wear during a tire rotation or seasonal tire swap.
4. Unusual Noises or Clunks on Bumps
A common sign that your suspension needs attention is unusual noises when driving over bumps, braking, or even accelerating. It’s important to have these noises checked before a suspension component fails completely, which could put you at risk or leave you stranded on the side of the road.
5. Suspension Warning Light
On certain newer INFINITI models, a warning light may appear on your dashboard when a suspension fault is detected. This could indicate an issue with your vehicle’s air or electronic suspension system if equipped on your specific vehicle.
