Olmsted Falls, Ohio

5 Common Signs You Need Services for Suspension, Shocks and Struts

1. Creaking or clunking over bumps or turns—often worn bushings, ball joints, or strut mounts causing excess play that can lead to unsafe handling.
2. Excessive bouncing after a speed bump—weak shocks/struts let tires lose contact, lengthening stopping distances.
3. Nose dive when braking or squatting/rolling in corners—damping loss that reduces stability and confidence.
4. Uneven or cupped tire wear—suspension wear or misalignment making the tires hop and scrub.
5. Steering feels loose, pulls, or vibrates—possible tie-rod, control arm, or strut issues, especially after hitting Olmsted Falls potholes.
