When To Get 2021 Chevrolet Equinox Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Equinox feels bouncy, pulls 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 2021 Chevrolet Equinox in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Equinox’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 Equinox Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox’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. 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 2021 Chevrolet Equinox shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Equinox shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox 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 2021 Chevrolet Equinox Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Equinox power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Equinox’s power steering fluid is low, 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Equinox to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Equinox when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Equinox shocks? If your Equinox shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Equinox might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
