If suspension components like shocks, struts, o r ball joints are worn, they prevent the tire from making consistent contact with the road. This can lead to uneven wear.

Signs: If your ride feels bouncy o r unstable, o r you hear knocking noises from the suspension, it may be time for an inspection.
