Mississauga roads can be rough after winter. A hard pothole hit can damage tires, wheels, suspension parts or alignment even if the vehicle still drives.
Common signs after pothole impact
- The vehicle pulls left or right
- The steering wheel is off-centre
- You feel vibration at speed
- There is a new clunk, knock or rattle
- Tires start wearing unevenly
- The vehicle feels loose or unstable
Why alignment matters
Bad alignment can wear tires quickly and affect handling. If your steering wheel changed position after a hit, or the vehicle does not track straight, it should be checked.
Suspension damage is not always obvious
Bent or worn suspension parts may not be visible without inspection. A proper check can catch problems before they become tire wear, noise or safety concerns.
If you hit a pothole and something feels off, book an alignment or suspension inspection with Rankin Automotive.
