Does Your 2006 Buick Lucerne Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Buick Lucerne, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Lucerne bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Buick Lucerne 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Lucerne suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Buick Lucerne 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 Lucerne Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Buick Lucerne suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Buick Lucerne’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Buick Lucerne shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Buick Lucerne suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Lucerne 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 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 Lucerne 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Buick Lucerne power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Lucerne is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Buick Lucerne bouncing so much? 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 Lucerne front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Lucerne'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Lucerne are bad? Worn Lucerne shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Lucerne might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Lucerne shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
