Shock Absorber Symptoms What Utah Drivers Should Watch For (202, Harvel Park Condo

If your vehicle feels bouncy, unstable, or noisy over bumps, worn shocks may be the reason—especially after Utah winter roads and potholes. Knowing the warning signs early can help prevent uneven tire wear, longer stopping distances, and that “floating” feeling on the highway. Here’s a quick checklist I use when diagnosing shock issues across Salt Lake City, Sandy, West Jordan, Draper, and Murray.

Symptoms & quick tips (checklist):

- Bouncy ride that won’t settle after bumps

- Nose dive when braking

- Front suspension clunking noise over potholes/speed bumps

- Sway or “floating” in turns

- Steering feels loose at highway speeds

- Uneven tire wear (cupping/scalloping)

- Visible shock/strut fluid leaks

- Longer stopping distance or unstable braking feel
