Does Your 2003 Buick Regal Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Buick Regal, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Regal jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Buick Regal in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Buick Regal’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick Regal Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Buick Regal’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2003 Buick Regal’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 rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Buick Regal shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Buick Regal’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.

2003 Regal Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Regal's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Buick Regal 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Buick Regal power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Regal is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Buick Regal bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Buick Regal 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 Regal front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Regal are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Regal feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Regal travels over minor bumps.
