What Does Pothole Damage do to Car Suspension?

Pothole

 

As Leominster drivers emerge from the winter and spring months to spend more time on the road, surfaces will likely be uneven with the seasonal changes creating potholes. As most drives know, these can deliver significant damage to a vehicle. That’s why the team at Ron Bouchard Honda is here to help you learn more about the different types of pothole damage to cars, as well as how you can find excellent pothole tire damage service at our dealership for a great price!

Common Signs of Pothole Damage to Cars

Even though our vehicles are designed to handle the elements – no matter if it’s a quick trip around Fitchburg or far from home — there are plenty of ways pothole damage to cars can put a wrench in daily plans. That’s why it’s important to know the damage they can do and other possible issues down the line. See some of the common signs of pothole tire damage and more below:

  • Tire bulges or bumps
  • Flatted or deflated tires
  • Bent or broken rims
  • Unstable steering
  • The front end of the car dives when braking
  • Brake fluid leakage
  • The car continuously pulls away in one direction when driving

While you can only do your best to avoid pothole damage to your car suspicion and tires, there are a few things you can do to minimize the impact on your vehicle. This includes making sure your tires are properly inflated and regularly rotated. If you’re driving on unfamiliar roads, drive slower and minimize any distractions to keep you focused on any uneven spots ahead. When you do come across a pothole that can’t be avoided, try to slow down as much as possible and maintain control of the steering wheel.

Does Auto Insurance Cover Damage from Potholes?

The short answer is yes. However, you’ll want to make sure you have collision insurance as part of your coverage plan as this will protect you if you have severe pothole tire damage. Even though you might have coverage under your policy, it may only be up to a certain amount. Get an estimate first and consider paying out of pocket if the cost of the damages is lower than your deductible. Plus, you’ll also want to consider the fact that your insurance rates go up the more claims you take out for your vehicle.
