Common Suspension Issues:

Worn-out Shocks/Struts: Over time, shocks o r struts can wear out, leading to a rough and bouncy ride, particularly on bumpy o r uneven roads.
Damaged Ball Joints and Bushings: These components wear out due to stress and constant movement, affecting the alignment and handling.
Misalignment: Poor suspension can lead to misalignment, causing uneven tire wear and pulling to one side while driving.
Prevention and Solutions:

Regularly check the shocks/struts and replace them if they show signs of leaking o r reduced performance.
Inspect the ball joints and bushings regularly, especially if you notice unusual noises o r handling problems.
Ensure proper wheel alignment and balance to prevent uneven tire wear and further suspension damage.
Drive cautiously on rough roads, and avoid hitting large potholes o r bumps that could cause damage to the suspension.
