Every good rain year re-carves the streets. Your suspension keeps the receipts.
The hit is instant; the symptoms drift in later
A hard pothole strike can bend a wheel, knock the alignment out, and tear a control-arm bushing in one bang — but the symptoms show up gradually: a new pull, a shimmy at 60, uneven tire wear you notice months later. After a real hit, a quick look over the corner that took it catches damage while it is still one part.
Quick tips
- Hit hard? Check that tire's sidewall for bubbles the same day
- A steering wheel that sits off-center afterward means alignment time
- New clunks over small bumps after a strike = get the corner inspected
