Is It Time For 2007 Buick LaCrosse Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Buick LaCrosse, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LaCrosse bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Buick LaCrosse in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick LaCrosse’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Buick LaCrosse Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2007 Buick LaCrosse suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your LaCrosse’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, 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 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.

2007 LaCrosse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick LaCrosse? 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 connect with the road how Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick LaCrosse power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LaCrosse is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Buick LaCrosse bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my LaCrosse's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LaCrosse'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.
  • What do worn Buick LaCrosse shocks feel like? Worn LaCrosse shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LaCrosse might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LaCrosse shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
