When To Get 2006 Buick LaCrosse Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2006 Buick LaCrosse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your LaCrosse feels bouncy, 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 2006 Buick LaCrosse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your LaCrosse suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Buick LaCrosse’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 LaCrosse Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Buick LaCrosse’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2006 Buick LaCrosse shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Buick LaCrosse shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LaCrosse’s 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.

2006 LaCrosse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LaCrosse's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Buick LaCrosse get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick LaCrosse power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your LaCrosse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Buick LaCrosse bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my LaCrosse's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LaCrosse 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 do worn Buick LaCrosse shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LaCrosse feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LaCrosse travels over minor bumps.
