Car suspension issues might seem scary, but you can catch them before they become a serious and expensive issue. Pay close attention whenever you're driving over a little rut in the road. If you notice any strange bounce from the front tires, then that might be an early sign of a problem in your suspension.
Anyone who drives over speed bumps all the time with an older vehicle can probably recognize this issue right away, though ironically it might be the speed bumps that put your suspension out of alignment in the first place.
