Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Corvette's steering and suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Corvette?

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 should I have my Chevrolet Corvette power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

What can cause my Chevrolet Corvette to have a bouncy ride?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my Corvette tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Corvette 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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Corvette need replacing?

Worn Corvette shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Corvette might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Corvette shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Corvette jolts, pulls 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 2008 Chevrolet Corvette in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Corvette’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Corvette Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Corvette shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
