When To Get 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Bolt EV bounces, sways 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 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Bolt EV suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Chevrolet Bolt EV 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 Bolt EV Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV’s suspension. 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 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Bolt EV shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Bolt EV get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Bolt EV 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 Bolt EV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Bolt EV bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Bolt EV 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 Bolt EV to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Bolt EV'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Bolt EV need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Bolt EV feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Bolt EV travels over minor bumps.
