Do not ignore suspension problems on your car

Cars can be very costly to run at the moment, especially with the rising fuel costs but its not only the running costs that you need to be aware of. For many of us, repairs to vehicles can come out of the blue and be an added cost that we could simply do without. For this reason, some people put off taking their car to the garage to have a problem investigated as they simply cannot afford the costs. Although you may think you are buying yourself some time to save up you may actually be costing yourself more money. Sometimes if problems are picked up early, they can be easily rectified. If left, they may end up causing more damage and costing more to repair.

Suspension problems are very common, and they can range from simple drop links needing to be replace to the more expensive shock absorbers or drive shafts. Often the only way to tell exactly what needs to be done is to get the car on the ramp and take the wheels off to have a look. Some garages will do this for free whereas others may charge a fee to investigate the issue. It is vital that you get any suspension repairs done asap as it can be very dangerous driving with these types of defects.
