When To Get 2011 Buick LaCrosse Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2011 Buick LaCrosse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your LaCrosse feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Buick LaCrosse, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Buick LaCrosse suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick LaCrosse Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Buick LaCrosse shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Buick LaCrosse shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Buick LaCrosse suspension 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.

2011 LaCrosse Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LaCrosse's steering and 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick LaCrosse? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When should I have my Buick LaCrosse power steering fluid checked? 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Buick LaCrosse bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Buick LaCrosse might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my LaCrosse front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LaCrosse combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Buick LaCrosse shocks? 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.
