If you’re like me, you probably enjoy driving your car. But if your car is exhibiting some unusual behavior that makes it difficult to drive safely and smoothly, then it’s time for a suspension inspection and possibly a replacement of the shock absorbers. Here we’ll discuss some signs that you need a suspension service to replace your car’s shock absorbers.

You’re noticing a swaying or floating sensation while driving.

If you’re noticing a new swaying or floating sensation while driving on the highway or over speed bumps, it’s likely because your car’s shocks are worn out. If a shock absorber leaks, it can cause your vehicle to sway or float. This is an indication of suspension failure and should be repaired immediately.

Your car dips downward when you come to a stop.

When you come to a stop, your car should not feel like it is about to hit the ground. If it does, then there’s something wrong with your shock absorbers. The best way to know if this is happening is by feeling for yourself whether or not there is any dip in the road that happens when you slow down or stop. If this happens on a regular basis, then replacing your shocks will do wonders for helping keep things level and steady while driving on bumpy roads.

Your car veers to one side as you brake at moderate speeds.

If your car veers to one side as you brake at moderate speeds, it could be time to get new shock absorbers. The reason for this is that even if your suspension is working fine, it’s still possible for worn-out shock absorbers to cause this behavior. If this happens often enough over time, then replacing all sets of shocks may be necessary.
