Yes, regular driving on rural gravel and pothole-heavy city streets both accelerate wear on shocks, struts, and steering components compared to smoother highway driving. Vehicles that see a lot of county-road miles are worth inspecting more often.

A rough or bouncy ride, clunking over bumps, and visible fluid leaks on a shock or strut usually point to suspension. Uneven tire wear with a smooth ride and a wheel that pulls to one side often point to alignment. A proper inspection tells the difference before you pay for the wrong fix.
