Heard a loud bang from a pothole on your drive to work and now your steering feels odd?
A big pothole hit can do more than just jar your teeth. If your steering suddenly feels off, or the car pulls to one side, it’s worth getting things checked over. Modern cars use sensors and electronics for steering, suspension and safety systems, so a good diagnostic check isn’t just about plugging in a scanner. It’s about finding out if a sensor’s been thrown out or if there’s a hidden fault that could affect how your car handles or wears its tyres.
It’s not always enough to just look at the wheels - a proper scan can spot issues you can’t see. If you feel something’s changed after a pothole, it’s better to act early than risk bigger problems down the line.
If your steering feels different after a pothole, get a steering and alignment check for peace of mind.
