- Worn Air Shocks
- Low Tire Pressure
- Worn out struts/shocks
- Damaged or low leaf spring
How To Fix:
If the car has rear air shocks:
- Examine Air Shocks: Look carefully at your air shocks. Search for any leakage, damage, or excessive rust. If you notice anything of that sort, it might be a good time to replace them.
- Test Air Shocks: Drive the car ensuring you drive over bumps. If the car still rides rough and doesn’t level itself, or you see it leaning more on one side, the air shocks are probably damaged and need replacing.
- Check Air Shock Valves: Make sure the valves on your rear air shocks are fully open and not leaking. Use a brush to clean them of dirt and debris.
If the car has springs and struts:
- Inspect Struts/ Shocks: Check for any leaks, rust or damage. Ensure that the struts are not loose. If you notice a leak or extensive rust, it’s time to replace them. If you notice the strut/shocks are loose use a wrench and tighten them properly.
- Check Tire Pressure: Make sure the tire pressures are set correctly. Underinflated tires can also give you a rough ride.
- Inspect leaf Springs: Take a close look at your leaf springs. Ensure that they are not sagging or damaged. Also, ensure they are not bent. If you find they are bent, they need to be replaced.
