When To Get 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Captiva Sport feels bouncy, 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 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Captiva Sport suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Captiva Sport’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Captiva Sport

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Captiva Sport shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Captiva Sport Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Captiva Sport? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Captiva Sport 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 Captiva Sport’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Captiva Sport bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Captiva Sport 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 Captiva Sport front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Captiva Sport'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 Captiva Sport shocks? Worn Captiva Sport shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
