When truck shocks or struts begin to wear out, the symptoms can start as subtle and rapidly become quite alarming and even hazardous. The earlier you have your suspension repaired with replacement parts, the smoother your drives will remain and the safer you'll be. With this in mind, here are seven key early warning signs that your truck struts or shocks need attention with prompt truck service in Madison, CT. Swaying When Cornering With worn suspension components, your truck might start to sway or even tip when you corner. Without firm shocks and struts maintaining a balance, the inertia generated when you corner will lower your truck on the outside of the turn, potentially posing a risk of tipping over. more Nose Diving When Braking When braking, your suspension needs to be exceptionally strong to resist the force of the truck's full momentum trying to push forward. Worn shocks and struts will no longer be able to resist this force, and your truck will start to nose dive before bouncing back to a stable position. Squatting When Accelerating Similarly, rapid acceleration may cause your truck to squat at the rear when the suspension has weakened. If you're hauling a heavy load, the malfunctioning shocks and struts will be under even more pressure, and the squatting may be worse. Bouncing After Bumps With a healthy suspension, your truck should glide over bumps and rough patches of the road smoothly. With worn suspension components, you may find the whole truck bouncing instead. Unevenly Worn Tires While checking your tires, if you notice they're wearing unevenly, the suspension could be to blame. With faulty suspension parts, the tires press against the road at awkward angles, which causes them to wear unevenly. Puddles of Leaking Fluid If you notice puddles of fluid under the wheel wells, it may be leaking from the piston housing in one of the shocks or struts. The leak will likely be accompanied by the other issues mentioned here. Less Responsive Steering When a strut wears out, all the connected components are impacted. This includes the ball joints and steering system. As a result, you may find that you can't steer your truck as precisely as before, which poses a clear danger to you and other drivers. How Long Truck Struts and Shocks Tend To Last You can expect your truck's shocks and struts to last from 50,000 to 100,000 miles. So if you're nearing 100,000 miles, you should consider having your suspension components replaced before they start to falter. Get Truck Service in Madison, CT, Today for Your Suspension If you even suspect your suspension of wearing out, it's wise to have it inspected at once by experienced truck technicians. We'd be happy to examine and replace your shocks and struts, returning your truck to smooth, safe handling once more.

Rely on our car service in Madison, CT to prep your vehicle for the new season. You can get started with these key spring maintenance tips. Care for Your Battery Make sure your battery is ready for spring road trips, especially if you drive less often in the winter. Stop by for a battery health test by one of our experienced techs. We'll let you know if it's time for a replacement so you won't end up stranded. Maintain the health of a newer battery by regularly driving for at least 30 minutes so it has time to recharge. Look at the terminals about once a month to make sure they remain clean and corrosion-free. more Dive Into a Deep Clean Protect the vehicle's paint and carpet with a comprehensive clean. Start by thoroughly rinsing the entire body to remove dirt and road salt. Don't forget to tackle the underside, where debris tends to accumulate. Then, use a wet sponge with soap designed for cars to clean the body from top to bottom. Rinse off the suds and then dry the paint completely. For the interior, remove the floor mats first. Then vacuum or shampoo the mats, carpet, and upholstery. Repeat these steps regularly to prevent stains and dust buildup, especially if you have an open-air vehicle like the Jeep Wrangler. Check Your Tires Perform a quick tread test to see if it's time for new tires. Your tire should have at least 4/32 inches of tread for safe operation. Insert a quarter into the tread with Washington's head first. If the tread doesn't touch the top of his head, visit us for a tire replacement. Even if your tires are new, check the tire pressure and add air if necessary. Many vehicles have an automatic tire pressure monitor, or you can check the owner's manual for the recommended inflation level. Examine Your Wiper Blades When your windshield wipers cause streaks, switch out the old blades. You should also replace your wiper blades when the rubber shows wear. New blades boost your visibility during inclement weather. Schedule an Oil Change Make an oil change appointment if you're approaching the recommended service interval for your vehicle. Check your owner's manual if you aren't sure. While you're here, we'll also check the levels of your coolant, power steering, brake, and transmission fluids. If your vehicle has all-wheel or four-wheel drive, we'll add transfer case and differential fluid to the list.

Transmission issues can cause lots of strange problems with your vehicle, from weird noises to issues changing gears. Knowing as many signs of transmission problems as possible will help you spot when it's time to visit the Jeep dealership for transmission service ASAP. 1. Your Vehicle Refuses to Change Gears Any time your Jeep has problems with its gears, there's a good chance a faulty transmission is the culprit. Sometimes your car might stop changing gears completely if your transmission needs service. more 2. Your Vehicle Takes Longer to Respond to Gear Changes Cars with transmission problems may take longer than normal to respond when you try to change gears. So, if you shift from park to drive, it may be a few seconds before your vehicle allows you to drive. 3. Your Vehicle Makes Gear Changes Uncomfortable Changing gears should never cause discomfort when your transmission is in good condition. However, a transmission that needs service may cause gear changes to be uncomfortable because the vehicle vibrates, kicks, or jolts during gear changes. These sensations are common if you have an automatic transmission that's in trouble. If your Jeep has a manual transmission, then a grinding sound or sensation is more common when there's a problem. 4. Your Vehicle Has a Transmission Fluid Leak Transmission fluid ranges from red to black in color depending on how old or contaminated it is. Red transmission fluid is fresh, while brown and black transmission fluid is old and contaminated. Spotting fluid of either color under your car can tell you that your vehicle has a transmission fluid leak. 5. Your Vehicle Is Making Unusual Sounds As we've already said, grinding noises can indicate problems with your transmission. However, any other unusual noises that occur during gear shifts can also be a sign that your transmission needs some attention. Hearing noises when your car is in neutral can also tell you that you need to get your transmission checked out, as your car shouldn't make much noise when it's in neutral. 6. Your Transmission Is Overheating If your transmission is overheating, then you may smell a burning odor in your car. The transmission system might be overheating because it has a low fluid level or because the fluid is too old or contaminated to protect it properly. 7. Your Gears Are Slipping If it becomes difficult to control your car while accelerating or decelerating, or if your engine revs too much while you're shifting up a gear, then your car may be slipping gears. This can be a sign your transmission needs service. Stop by Madison Chrysler Inc. in Madison, CT, for a transmission repair. Call our service department today at 203-721-6734.
