Is It Time For 2005 Buick LaCrosse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Buick LaCrosse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LaCrosse bounces, leans 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 2005 Buick LaCrosse, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your LaCrosse suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Buick LaCrosse suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Buick LaCrosse Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Buick LaCrosse suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Buick LaCrosse shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Buick LaCrosse shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Buick LaCrosse’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 LaCrosse 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick LaCrosse? 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 does Buick LaCrosse power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your LaCrosse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Buick LaCrosse to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LaCrosse to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my LaCrosse to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Buick LaCrosse are bad? If your LaCrosse shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your LaCrosse might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
