Check Your Car’s Suspension System
A car’s suspension system serve a dual purpose – keeping its wheels on the ground where they can provide traction, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations.
A few signs to look for that could cause problems: If your car is having any vibration, irregular noise, knocking while driving over bumps - have your car inspected; there is definitely some problem.
Check inside the wheel arch if all four struts (shock absorbers) are dry. If any of them leaks oil – have it replaced, especially before a trip. Once it will be short on oil, the car will start bouncing like a boat and any road roughness can throw the car out of the road.
If the car "wanders" from side to side when you’re driving in highway speed or if you notice that your steering wheel is out of center, or the car pulls aside - check your wheel alignment. Improper wheel alignment may easily cause a car to skid at a high speed.
