Watch Out for Potholes!

potholeThe weather we’ve been having in Weymouth, MA the past couple of weeks raises the probability of potholes.  The freezing temperatures and snow mixed with the rising temperatures in between storms are the perfect conditions for potholes to form.

You’ll know immediately when you hit a pothole.  The teeth shattering noise and the jarring bump are easy signs that you just drove over a pot hole.  However, it may be difficult to tell if it caused any damage or not.

When you hit a pothole, it can cause damage to your tires, wheels, steering, suspension, alignment or a number of other parts in your car.  Some signs to tell if you have damage is if you have difficulty steering, drifting or pulling to the side without touching the wheel, bottoming out easily or noise when turning.  Tire damage can include bulges or blisters in the side walls or dents on the rims which can be seen visually pretty easily.
