Watch Out for that Pothole!

Let us start by examining what forms a pothole on the roads around Topeka. We find potholes to be road imperfections that occur when soil compacted beneath pavement gets weak or even becomes displaced. And, if you don’t already know from personal experience as a Topeka area driver, they are particularly bad in late winter, early spring!

Here is what you should check if you hit a pothole –

1.  Look at your tires as soon as you can.

2.  Check the wheels for bends, cracks, or chips.

3.  Exhaust pipes are a perfect target for potholes.

4.  If your car is lower to the ground…beware.

5.  Above all it is your car’s suspension. There is just so much it can handle.
