Signs of a broken suspension ‼️
As a car owner, you are well aware that your vehicle needs regular care like tire replacements and oil changes. But, how often do you think about your car’s suspension?
After years of supporting 3-4tons of metal, your suspension parts will eventually wear out. You’ll need to replace them. But, how do you know the signs of a worn suspension, especially when it comes to shocks and struts?
Think you have a worn suspension? Signs and symptoms are broken into two categories: bad struts and bad shocks.👇🏻
Signs of Bad Struts
1. Clunking Noises When Hitting a Bump
If your car is making knocking noises every time that you run over a pothole or a speed bump, you probably have a problem with the struts.
Struts are made of several parts that will wear out over time. Noises that come from either your front or back tires while driving could be the struts “bottoming out.” Essentially, struts that are not functioning correctly can cause more problems or break, stranding you on the road.
2. Bumpy Ride
If your ride is becoming more bumpy than usual, you could have a broken or defective strut that needs to be replaced. Your trusted auto professional can conduct a road test to determine precisely what the problem is.
3. Hovering Front End
Another tell-tale sign of a failing strut is a loose front end or if your car seems to veer to one side. If you’re having trouble keeping your steering aligned on the road, it’s definitely time to take the car into an automotive center.
4. Irregular Tire Wear
If your car isn’t absorbing bump impact well because of a bad strut, you will be able to see in the way your tires wear down. Uneven impact on your car means uneven tracks on your tires.

Signs of Bad Shocks
1. Noticeable Vibrations While Driving
Sometimes the piston seal or the valve inside will break, causing the fluid in the shock to move unregulated. When this happens, the shocks don’t work correctly meaning you feel every tiny bump in the road. Noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel is a sign that you should talk to a professional.
2. Erratic Braking
Swerving when braking and turning is another sign that you have a problem with the fluid in the shock absorbers. If the liquid is unregulated, then it will heavily weigh to one side of the car during the turn, causing you to overcorrect the turn.
3. Fluid Leakage
Noticeable signs of fluid leakage mean that you probably have a crack in the seal that connects the shaft to the shock’s body. The leaking fluid will run over the shock and onto the ground. Losing fluid from the shock only means it’s a matter of time until you need to replace it.
4. Irregular Tire Wear
When you have a worn shock, the car can slip and slide all over the road. As this happens, the tires are not always equally touching the ground and will wear down unevenly. This can be dangerous for many reasons, one including tire traction.

It’s important to remember that shocks and struts are not interchangeable and you should consult your mechanic before making any changes to them.

How to test your car battery 🪫 while at home!!
1. Perform a load test in the following ways;
- [ ] Without starting your engine, turn on your headlights
- [ ] Leave them in the “ON” position for about 10-15 minutes
- [ ] After that time passes, start your car and watch the brightness of your headlights. If your headlights dim noticeably as the engine turns over, your battery doesn’t pass the load test. The battery should hold enough charge to handle the 10-15 minutes before the engine starts, and once the engine turns over. If your car’s battery is struggling here, it most likely needs to be replaced before it fails you on the road.
2. Check for corrosion
corrosion on your car’s battery could indicate a power problem. Over time, that corrosion, caused when acid within the battery releases hydrogen gas, might interfere with the battery terminals’ ability to transfer power. The battery has to work harder to compensate, and that extra work can shorten its life.
You can clean the battery terminals (carefully!) with household items like baking soda and an old toothbrush. If your battery has been suffering from corrosion for a long time, however, the damage may be irreversible. In that case, it’s time to replace.
3. Listen for clicks
If anyone ever makes a horror movie about car problems, you can bet the soundtrack would be the rapid clicking of a lifeless battery!
When you turn your key over in the ignition, you should hear a lively roar that settles into a purr. When you hear “click-click-click” instead, you know your car battery is likely dead. A single click, on the other hand, could mean a bad starter.
Those clicks might not mean your battery needs to be replaced, but they're a reliable indicator. Even if a jump start gets the vehicle going, the first stop should be the bay of an experienced, trusted technician.

How to prepare your car for a road trip👇🏻
Road trips are great fun, but it’s important you ready yourself for anything. With that in mind, you might be wondering how to prepare a car for a road trip.
1. Park emergency items like a road emergency kit which contains jumper cables, sealer-inflator light sticks, reflective vests, rain ponchos, warning triangle, a jerrycan and a tire pressure gauge.

2. First Aid kit. This should at least contain band-aids, sterilizing wipes, bandages, scissors and painkillers.

3. License and car insurance, check them to confirm they’re within the expiration dates to avoid any scuffle with traffic officers.

4. Check your tires; for pressure, check tire treads, it’s unsafe to drive on tires with too much tread wear, also check if your spare tire has the required pressure.

5. Test your car lights; check if headlights (inc full beam), indicators, brake lights, hazard lights, reverse lights and fog lights are all working perfectly.

6. Check your windshield wipers before driving just incase of a heavy rainfall, you don’t get stack.

7. Test your brakes; listen/ look out for any squeaking noise, scraping noise, a burning smell or the the pedal goes all the way to the floor. If any of those symptoms arises, it could be time to replace the pedals.

8. Check your fluids; check if your engine oil is enough, remove the dipstick and review the oil level using the markers toward the bottom. These will tell you if your oil is on a low, high or decent level.
NB: the car should be on a leveled ground for accurate readings.
• Also check for the radiator coolant; without enough coolant, your engine will overheat.
• Check if you have ample fluid(water) in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
• Check the power steering fluid, brake fluid and the transmission fluid.
9. Finally take your car for a service.
