Your vehicle’s suspension system does more than keep your ride comfortable. It also plays a major role in steering, stability, handling and overall safety. As components like shocks, struts and bushings wear out, you may start to notice subtle changes in how your vehicle drives. Catching these signs early can help prevent more serious issues and expensive repairs down the road. Uneven Tire Wear One of the earliest indicators of suspension problems is uneven or accelerated tire wear. If your suspension isn’t keeping your wheels properly aligned with the road, certain parts of the tire may wear out faster than others.

A little preventative care before the big trips makes winter roads much less stressful. These five tasks improve traction, visibility, and reliability when temperatures dip and traffic stacks up for last-minute shopping. 1. Give Your Tires Real Winter Traction Tires decide how well you accelerate, steer, and stop on cold pavement. Check tread depth across the full width of each tire, not just the center. Uneven wear hints at low pressure or alignment drift that steals grip on slick roads. Set pressures to the driver-door sticker with tires cold; every 10 degrees of temperature drop can cost about one to two psi. If your tread is thin or you regularly face snow, consider dedicated winter tires. Their rubber stays flexible in the cold and their tread pattern clears slush better than all-season designs, which shortens stopping distances on icy morning ... read more
