Suspension and steering
DRIVING SAFELY
Do you like being able to drive around without worrying about your destination?
Be sure to maintain your steering and your suspension. These two systems are essential to your vehicle. Without proper maintenance, you may experience poor car handling, an increased braking distance, an accelerated tire wear and even a lack of stability or a loss of traction during turns.
To be able to arrive at your destination without a hitch, let the team at OCTO Auto Service Plus inspect and maintain your steering and suspension. Do not let potholes or long drives leave your vehicle down for the count!
Questions & answers
How can you spot a failing steering system?
The steering system is made up of several parts that interact with one another. Their synchronicity ensures the entire system works properly. If one component fails, it will affect your driving experience. Here are some signs that your steering system needs maintenance:
- Loose steering.
- Uneven wear of your tires.
- Clunking sound when you drive over bumps or potholes.
- Difficulty turning.
- Vibrations in the steering wheel.
- The vehicle pulls to one side.
- You must correct the vehicle’s trajectory.
- When braking suddenly, the front of the vehicle plunges excessively.
If your vehicle has any of these signs, for your safety and that of others, we recommend that you make an appointment as soon as possible at your local OCTO Auto Service Plus to identify and fix the problem.
