Suspension makes creaking or squeaking sound

At slow speeds there is a distinct creaking or squeaking sound coming from the corner of the car. The sound is more obvious at slow speeds and will usually be noticeable when you feel weight shift around the car when it changes direction.

Tyres wearing unevenly

Looking at the tyre the tread is very worn down in one areas but has plenty of tread left in others. This will usually be noticeable in the centre or at the edge of the tyres. It is noticeable as the tread pattern will look worn away compared to the rest of the tyre.

After driving over speed bumps or changes in road surfaces the car doesn't settle back to normal as quickly as it should. The car feels like it's carrying on bouncing long after the car has driven over the obstacle.
