Does Your 2001 Buick Regal Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2001 Buick Regal, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Regal feels bouncy, 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 2001 Buick Regal in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Regal 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 Regal steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Buick Regal Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2001 Buick Regal’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2001 Buick Regal shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Buick Regal shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Buick Regal suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Regal Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Regal's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick Regal? 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.
  • When should I have my Buick Regal power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Regal’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Buick Regal 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 Regal tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Regal when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Buick Regal need replacing? If your Regal shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Regal might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
