Is It Time For 2022 Buick Encore GX Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2022 Buick Encore GX, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Encore GX jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Buick Encore GX in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Buick Encore GX suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick Encore GX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2022 Buick Encore GX’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Encore GX’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Buick Encore GX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Buick Encore GX’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2022 Encore GX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Encore GX's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick Encore GX? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick Encore GX power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Encore GX is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Buick Encore GX bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Encore GX goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Encore GX tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Encore GX combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Encore GX are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Encore GX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Encore GX travels over minor bumps.
