Is It Time For 2020 Buick Encore Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Buick Encore, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Encore feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Buick Encore, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Buick Encore

Your 2020 Buick Encore’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2020 Buick Encore shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick Encore shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Encore’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2020 Buick Encore Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick Encore? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Buick Encore bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Encore to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Encore front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Buick Encore shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Encore feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Encore travels over minor bumps.
