What to pay attention to
Knocking over bumps, uneven tyre wear, a car that feels unstable or sits unevenly are common suspension symptoms worth checking.
Why an inspection may still be needed
Worn bushes, joints or shock absorbers can affect handling and tyre wear gradually, so the vehicle may still feel driveable while wear is already advanced.
A sensible next step
Note which side the noise comes from and whether it changes with speed or steering input, then arrange an inspection before it affects tyre life further.
