Two different mechanics & the service center told me that the front suspension needs work. Being a new driver, i cant really tell. But the car does wobble a bit at very low speeds & the ride is a bit noisy in general. My regular mechanic told me the job is not urgent. So my question is, how do i know when its time to update the suspension? Ameyam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you got the point, let us know if this helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
