If riding in your car starts to become bumpier and creates a rough driving experience that didn’t exist before, you may need to replace your shocks and struts. Other signs include leaking fluid on the exterior of the struts and shocks, uneven tread on your tires, and difficulty when braking or turning to keep control.
