Does Your 2005 Chevrolet Equinox Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Equinox 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 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Equinox steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Equinox Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Chevrolet Equinox suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Chevrolet Equinox’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Equinox shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Chevrolet Equinox suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 Equinox Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Equinox's steering and 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Equinox? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chevrolet Equinox power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Equinox bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Equinox to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Equinox's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Equinox'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 Equinox need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Equinox feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Equinox travels over minor bumps.
