• You hear squeaking or odd noises as you drive, especially when you're making turns or hitting the brakes
• You notice that one part of your vehicle sits lower than the other parts
• Your car's tire tread is wearing unevenly (even with regular tire rotations)

• You notice oil or a reddish fluid puddling underneath your vehicle when parked
• It's harder to turn the steering wheel of your vehicle
