Is It Time For 2009 Chevrolet Colorado Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Colorado jolts, drifts 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 2009 Chevrolet Colorado 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, 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 steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Colorado 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 Colorado Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Colorado shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Chevrolet Colorado Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Colorado? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Colorado power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Colorado’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Colorado bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Colorado to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Colorado to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Colorado'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 Colorado are bad? Worn Colorado shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Colorado might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Colorado shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
