Where do
Pot Holes come from?
Potholes are created
when moisture seeps into the pavement, freezes, expands and then
thaws.This weakens the pavement. Traffic loosens it even more, and it
eventually crumbles and pops out. 
Why Do So Many Potholes Occur in the Spring?
Spring temperatures warm the cold pavement, melting and evaporating any ice. This creates air pockets that can eventually cause the pavement to break up. A winter of heavy snow or rain and several freeze-thaw cycles can mean a big pothole season ahead.
So besides the loud "thunk" when you hit a pothole, what else is at stake? First and foremost- your entire vehicle suspension. Submitting your car to such torture is asking for problems, and many times, you'll get those problems. Wheels can bend and go out of balance, tires can blow resulting in a safety issue and a huge headache, but sometimes potholes can cause damage to other vital engine parts. If you hit a pothole that makes you say "ouch", perhaps its a good idea to have us look things over next time you get out.
