Vehicle Feels Bumpy - Suspension Repair
What Causes A Bumpy Vehicle?
There can be a number of different culprits causing your vehicle to have an uncomfortable ride. All of them can be repaired quickly and efficiently, usually in under a day, by a team of automotive service technician. We'll examine some of them below.
Your Shock Absorbers and Struts May be Wearing Out
Over time, your shock absorbers and struts will experience wear and tear, which heavily contributes to disappointing ride quality. This is because your vehicle is no longer being effectively protected from the bumps, ruts and potholes on the road.
Solution: Contact us to have your suspension examined and repaired by our trustworthy team of professionals.
Vehicle feels bumpy? Suspension repair may be needed, but it’s not the only solution.
Your Front End Parts May Need Replacing
Various components from the front end and steering can be the cause of a poor ride.
Tie rods, CV joints and axles, ball joints and the rack and pinion are all parts that can wear out and cause unexpected and unusual behaviour.
Solution: At Hansma, we can replace your vehicle’s worn out parts with high-quality CARQUEST auto parts.
Your Tires Are Defective
Defective or poor quality tires can produce a bumpy ride. If your tires are under-inflated or out of alignment, they can cause jolting and jarring.
Solution: Check your tires to make sure that they are inflated to the correct pressure, have no uneven wear on the outside or inside edge; and that there are no visible bumps on the walls or tread. If any of this applies, you may need a new set.
At Hansma, we have a wide assortment of tires if you need a new set.
Your Brakes Are Worn Out
If your brake pads are worn out, they may make unusual noises when in contact with the rotors. This will cause a bumpy feel when they are in use.
Solution: Brake pads are generally an inexpensive problem to fix.

Your Transmission Is Worn
Over time, the teeth in your vehicle’s transmission gears can become chipped, worn and stripped. This may cause the vehicle to jerk and clunk when gears are being changed.
Solution: Preventative maintenance can be an important part in keeping your transmission running smoothly. Ask our staff to check your transmission fluid levels and quality.
