Does Your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Cobalt jolts, pulls 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 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet Cobalt’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.

Chevrolet Cobalt Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Cobalt’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Cobalt shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cobalt's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Cobalt 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. 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.
  • Does my Chevrolet Cobalt power steering fluid need to be checked? 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 follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Cobalt bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Cobalt to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cobalt tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Cobalt'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Cobalt are bad? Worn Cobalt shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Cobalt might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Cobalt shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
