When To Get 2021 Buick Encore Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 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, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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.

Buick Encore Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Buick Encore suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Buick Encore shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 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.

2021 Encore Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Encore's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Buick Encore bouncing 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Encore when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Buick Encore need replacing? 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.
