Is It Time For 2006 Buick Rendezvous Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Buick Rendezvous, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Rendezvous bounces, 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 2006 Buick Rendezvous in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Rendezvous suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick Rendezvous’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 Rendezvous Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2006 Buick Rendezvous’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Rendezvous’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Buick Rendezvous shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Buick Rendezvous suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2006 Rendezvous Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick's 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Buick Rendezvous 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 the tires connect with the road how Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick Rendezvous 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Buick Rendezvous 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Rendezvous to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Rendezvous 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 Rendezvous need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Rendezvous feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Rendezvous travels over minor bumps.
