Does Your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Blazer bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Chevrolet Blazer’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Blazer

Your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Chevrolet Blazer’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2003 Chevrolet Blazer Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Blazer? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Chevrolet Blazer 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 Blazer is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Blazer bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Blazer 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 Blazer's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Blazer 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 Chevrolet Blazer need replacing? Worn Blazer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Blazer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Blazer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
