What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension?

Maintaining your tires 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.

Why should my Chevrolet Blazer 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Chevrolet Blazer power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Chevrolet Blazer bouncing excessively?

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 Blazer to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Blazer 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.

How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks?

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.

Does Your 2024 Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2024 Chevrolet Blazer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Blazer feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2024 Chevrolet Blazer, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Blazer suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Chevrolet Blazer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Chevrolet Blazer suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Chevrolet Blazer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
