Is It Time For 2019 Buick Encore Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2019 Buick Encore, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Encore bounces, drifts 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 2019 Buick Encore in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Buick Encore’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick Encore Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Buick Encore’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2019 Buick Encore shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Buick Encore shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2019 Buick Encore suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 Encore Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick Encore? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Buick intended.
  • When should I have my Buick Encore power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Encore’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Buick Encore bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Encore 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Encore's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Encore are bad? Worn Encore shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Encore might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Encore shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
