Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lucerne's steering and suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick Lucerne?

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 should I have my Buick Lucerne power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Lucerne’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Buick Lucerne bouncing so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Buick Lucerne 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 Lucerne's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Lucerne 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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Buick Lucerne need replacing?

Worn Lucerne shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Is It Time For 2011 Buick Lucerne Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2011 Buick Lucerne, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Lucerne feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2011 Buick Lucerne in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 2011 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Buick Lucerne shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Buick Lucerne shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Lucerne’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.
