Does Your 2002 Chevrolet Impala Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Chevrolet Impala, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Impala jolts, leans 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 2002 Chevrolet Impala in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Impala suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Chevrolet Impala suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Impala

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Chevrolet Impala suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2002 Chevrolet Impala shock and strut replacement 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 indicators of worn Chevrolet Impala shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Chevrolet Impala suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2002 Chevrolet Impala Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Impala get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Impala power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Impala is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Impala bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Impala might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Impala to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Impala'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 do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Impala shocks? Worn Impala shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Impala might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Impala shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
