3. Vehicle subframe:
Is your vehicle pulling to one side making unusual noises? If the suspension system is already compromised the vehicle frame may suffer as well causing:
- Damaged or bent
- Ongoing maintenance & safety issues
You can reduce your potential damage with preparations
- Check your tyre pressure
Properly inflated tyres can hold up better against potholes
- Have your suspension checked
Get your suspension checked by a certified technician. Wheel alignment issues can cause uneven tyre wear leading to an early replacement, impacting your wallet
- Be cautious of puddles
What might look like a bit of water would be a deep sharp-edged pothole lurking below
- Avoid becoming complacent
Small potholes can become large hazards quickly
So, drive carefully and get your vehicle inspected regularly to avoid damage during pothole season.
