When To Get 2009 Chevrolet Equinox Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2009 Chevrolet Equinox, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Equinox jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Chevrolet Equinox in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Chevrolet Equinox’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 Equinox Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2009 Chevrolet Equinox’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Chevrolet Equinox shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Equinox shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Equinox’s 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 Equinox Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Equinox's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my Chevrolet Equinox power steering fluid 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Equinox 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 Equinox need replacing? Worn Equinox shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Equinox might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Equinox shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
