When To Get 2005 Buick Terraza Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2005 Buick Terraza, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Terraza bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2005 Buick Terraza in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Terraza steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick Terraza Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2005 Buick Terraza’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Terraza’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Buick Terraza shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Buick Terraza suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2005 Buick Terraza Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Terraza? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick Terraza power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Terraza’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Buick Terraza bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Terraza goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Terraza front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Terraza 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 Terraza need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Terraza feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Terraza travels over minor bumps.
