Hit a Pothole? Signs Your Vehicle May Need an Inspection
· ZhoopZhoop Collision & Mechanical
A hard pothole or curb impact can do more than cause a momentary jolt. Even when there is no obvious exterior damage, the impact can affect your vehicle’s wheel alignment, tires, steering and suspension.
Warning signs after a pothole impact
- Your vehicle pulls to one side
- The steering wheel sits off-centre
- You notice unusual vibrations
- Your tires are wearing unevenly
These symptoms can point to alignment or suspension issues that are worth checking before they become more expensive problems.
Why an inspection matters
Pothole damage is not always easy to see. A bent wheel, damaged tire, shifted alignment or stressed suspension component can change how the vehicle drives even if everything looks normal from the outside.
