Does Your 2007 Buick Lucerne Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2007 Buick Lucerne, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Lucerne jolts, sways 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 2007 Buick Lucerne in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Lucerne 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 Lucerne’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 Lucerne Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2007 Buick Lucerne suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Buick Lucerne’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick Lucerne shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Buick Lucerne suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2007 Lucerne Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lucerne's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Lucerne? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Buick Lucerne bounce 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 tilt forward when I hit 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 Lucerne are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Lucerne feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Lucerne travels over minor bumps.
