Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Owners report rapid, uneven rear tire wear tied to alignment settings that were out of spec on toe and camber, sometimes discovered when tires needed replacement well before expected mileage.
One owner described a front wheel rim separating from the vehicle at highway speed, causing the vehicle to roll after a loud bang, despite lug nuts and tires being intact.
Several complaints describe premium-brand tires (Michelin, Hankook) wearing down to minimal tread depth at low mileage despite regular rotations and correct tire pressure.
One owner reported slush and ice building up inside the wheel-well fabric after snow, causing the vehicle to shimmy at any speed.
Another owner described repeated air-pressure loss in a rear tire traced to a valve stem issue that recurred after dealer service.
A fleet operator reported multiple 2018 Equinox units needing new tires under low mileage after alignment checks found toe and camber out of specification, mostly in the rear.
