Is It Time For 1999 Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Blazer feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Blazer 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 Chevrolet Blazer’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Blazer

Your 1999 Chevrolet Blazer’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Chevrolet Blazer shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Blazer’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1999 Blazer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Blazer's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Blazer? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Blazer power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Blazer bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Blazer 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Blazer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Blazer's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Blazer feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Blazer travels over minor bumps.
