If you’ve driven in and around Philadelphia lately, you know it feels more like a cratered moonscape than a pleasant drive. If your wheels vibrate at highway speeds, it’s not normal, it’s your tires and/or suspension crying for help!
What You May Feel After You Hit a Philly Pothole
The Highway Jitters: If the wheel shakes only at high speeds, like on the Expressway or I-95, you’ve likely knocked a lead weight off your wheel, causing an imbalance.
The "Philly Pothole Pull": If the car drifts toward one side or the other when you let go of the steering wheel, your alignment is out of spec.
The Slow-Speed Clunk: A rhythmic knocking while turning into a tight parking spot at in Center City Philadelphia or King of Prussia Mall often points to a damaged CV axle or strut.
Why it matters: Ignoring a small jitter or shake today will lead to uneven tire wear tomorrow. At Conicelli Nissan's Service Department, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic racks to reset your alignment to factory specs, essential for navigating the "special" terrain of the Philadelphia region.
If you're experiencing any of these problems, let Conicelli Nissan get your Rogue, Pathfinder, or other Nissan back on the straight and narrow again, with predictable steering and tire wear. Just give us a call at 1-888-Conicelli or Schedule a Service Appointment and we'll do the rest.
