Potholes causing suspension problems
Share:

The recent cold weather has lead to a rise in the number of dreaded potholes plaguing Irish roads and the problem looks set to get worse as road maintenance budgets are cut. Potholes can cause serious damage to the steering and suspension system on any car regardless of its type or age. This means a thorough check of steering and suspension components should be made every time a car is in the workshop, regardless of vehicle manufacturer recommendation.


Faulty or worn steering and suspension parts can have serious safety implications, leading to increased tyre wear and will mean NCT failure. This makes regular checks essential, with replacement where parts are showing signs of wear.
