Your car's suspension system is responsible for keeping your vehicle stable and enabling a comfortable driving experience. However, like any other part of your car, the suspension system can eventually develop issues, and it’s best to get to the shop at the first sign of trouble. At Lloyd’s Automotive & Transmission Specialists, we provide expert suspension repair in the greater Olympia, WA area. Here’s a look at five warning signs of a suspension problem. Bumpy or Rough Ride A healthy suspension system should provide a smooth ride. If you start experiencing a bumpy or rough ride, it's a clear indication that something is wrong. Worn-out shocks or struts can cause your vehicle to bounce excessively over bumps and uneven surfaces, compromising both comfort and control. Don't dismiss a rough ride as normal wear and tear – have your suspension system inspected by the mechanic. Pulling or Drifting During Turns When your suspension system is functioning properly, your car should remain stable and well-balanced during turns. However, if you notice your vehicle pulling or drifting to one side when cornering, it could indicate suspension issues. This could be caused by worn-out suspension components, such as control arms or sway bar links, or problems with your steering system. Excessive Noise Squeaking, creaking, or clunking noises when going over bumps or rough roads could indicate worn-out suspension components or loose parts. These noises may be caused by damaged bushings, worn-out shocks or struts, or loose sway bar links. Ignoring these noises may lead to further damage and compromise the safety and performance of your vehicle. Uneven Tire Wear If you notice that the tread on your tires is wearing out unevenly, it could indicate issues with your suspension. Uneven tire wear is often caused by misaligned wheels or worn-out suspension components, such as bushings or ball joints. Ignoring this issue may affect your vehicle's handling and safety. Uneven Ride Height Your vehicle's ride height should remain consistent under normal conditions. If you notice one corner of your car sitting lower than the others, it could indicate suspension problems. Worn-out springs or damaged suspension components can cause uneven ride height, affecting both the aesthetics and the performance of your vehicle.

Transmission fluid lubricates moving parts, dissipates heat, and facilitates gear shifts. This makes it very important that you’re driving with the right amount. Recognizing the signs of low transmission fluid is essential to prevent potential damage and promote the longevity of your vehicle. At Lloyd’s Automotive & Transmission Specialists, we provide top-quality transmission service in Olympia, and our local mechanics are experts at addressing issues related to transmission fluid. Here are four warning signs that your transmission fluid is too low. Delayed or Rough Shifting If you experience delays in gear engagement or notice that your car is shifting more roughly than usual, it could be an indication that the transmission fluid is insufficient to provide proper lubrication and hydraulic pressure. You should check your transmission fluid on a monthly basis—even if you don’t suspect an issue. If the fluid is low or looks burnt, it’s time to take action. Unusual Transmission Noises Healthy transmission systems operate quietly, but low fluid levels can lead to increased friction and wear between metal components. If you start hearing strange noises—such as whining, clunking, or grinding—it might be a red flag for low transmission fluid. Ignoring these noises could result in serious damage to the transmission, leading to costly repairs. Transmission Overheating Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in dissipating heat generated during the operation of the transmission. When the fluid level is low, it cannot optimally carry out this function, potentially causing the transmission to overheat. An overheated transmission can lead to fluid degradation and damage to internal components. A burning smell is one sign of an overheating transmission. Fluid Leaks Transmission fluid is typically bright red with a somewhat sweet smell. If you notice red puddles or spots beneath your parked vehicle, it could be a sign of a transmission fluid leak. A leaking transmission can result in low fluid levels, leading to diminished performance and potential damage. Such leaks should be brought to the mechanic's attention ASAP.
