Bent frame suspension parts

A bend in frame suspension parts can create a distortion of pressure on the wheels. One wheel may bear more of the vehicle's weight than the others. This can cause vibration, rapid tire wear, and drifting.

Symptoms

Tires Wear Out Fast

An increase in the load on a tire can cause it to wear faster than the others. A bend in the suspension can put abnormal stress on a particular wheel, causing rapid tire wear.

Vehicle Pulls to One Side

A bend in the suspension can create a situation where the axle is slightly tilted. This will cause the vehicle to pulls to the side while going forward.

Vehicle Shakes On Smooth Roads

Bent suspension can cause vibration as the alteration of the alignment makes the vehicle wobble.
