As vehicles age, their suspension and steering components wear out. Joints and connections often have rubber bushings around them that loose their effectiveness over time.
Noises can happen when going over bumps or rough roads, as well as during turns. Catching these issues early can prevent expensive repairs.
Think of it as rolling an ankle and not letting it heal up before running a race. Good preventative maintenance will get you back on the road again quickly, and safely.
What May Cause Suspension Noises?
- Shocks and struts, including associated mounts
- Sway bar links or bushings
- Control arm bushings
- Ball joints
What May Cause Steering Noises?
- Steering tie rods and ends
- Steering rack
- Power steering gear box (if applicable)
