When To Get 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Malibu Limited feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, 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 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 Malibu Limited steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Malibu Limited

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Malibu Limited shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Malibu Limited’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Malibu Limited Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Malibu Limited's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Malibu Limited? 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 does Chevrolet Malibu Limited 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 Malibu Limited’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Malibu Limited bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Malibu Limited to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Malibu Limited's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Malibu Limited'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 Malibu Limited need replacing? If your Malibu Limited 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 Malibu Limited might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
