Your suspension shock absorber ensures driving comfort by smoothing bumps on the road and providing traction by keeping the wheels on the ground as much as possible.
One of the main functions of the suspension system is to smooth the bumps on the road. If you start to feel every bump on the road, it indicates that there is a problem with your shock absorber or strut and needs to be checked.
There is another way to test for problems with your suspension system: If your car has shock absorbers, look for fluid leaks that help restrain bounce. If your car has support rods, listen to the knocks when you drive through bumps.
