d. car veers or slides when braking
e. the car rocks, or in other words, matagtag in uneven roads, bumps
f. you observe uneven tire wear (although this is also related to incorrect camber)
how to check?
a. physical check.... meron bang leaks or wet spots sa stem ng shocks?
b. Push down hard on each corner of a vehicle. If the car continues to bounce after you let go, sira na ang shocks.
