Your Shock Absorbers Matter: The Signs You Need to Know

Why Your Car’s Shock Absorbers Matter More Than You Think

Breakfast and lunch availability for many are activities that go unnoticed. But, during the Summer it’s important that we ensure it doesn’t go unnoticed for those who access it through our school system. So, free breakfasts and lunches will be offered at 33 locations as part of the Wichita Public Schools Summer Food Program.  And this helps to “absorb” the “shock” of hunger by paying a crucial role in keeping kids feed over the summer. And along the lines of “shock”, “absorbers” and “crucial roles”, your car’s shock absorbers play a crucial role in keeping you safe on the road.

So, in this post, the experts at Tracy’s Tire Pros take a close look at why shock absorbers matter, how to spot signs of wear, and why immediate repair is essential.

Speed Bumps and Your Suspension: What You Need to Know

What Happens When You Hit Speed Bumps Too Fast?

While speed bumps help slow traffic for safety, your suspension system pays the price if you don’t ease up in time. Speed bumps may seem like a minor nuisance, but driving too fast over them can seriously damage your car or truck’s suspension. So, in this post, the experts at Tracy’s Tire Pros in Wichita take a look at what happens to your suspension when you hit speed bumps too hard and what warning signs to watch out for.
