Potholes don't always leave a visible mark on your car, but a hard hit can silently throw off your alignment, bend a rim, or damage your suspension. If your steering wheel is pulling to one side or your ride suddenly feels a bit off, your car is trying to tell you something.
Here is what a nasty pothole impact can do beneath the surface:
Knock Out Your Alignment: Even a slight jolt can misalign your wheels, causing uneven tire wear and poor handling.
Damage Suspension Components: Struts, shocks, and control arms absorb the blow, which can lead to premature wear or failure.
Bend Wheels or Compromise Tires: Hidden rim bends or internal tire wall damage can cause slow leaks or dangerous blowouts down the road.
Ignoring that strange new feeling in your steering can turn a minor fix into an expensive suspension repair.
