The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on.

Chevrolet Malibu Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2004 Chevrolet Malibu’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. 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 2004 Chevrolet Malibu shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Malibu shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Chevrolet Malibu suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Steering & Suspension

If your Malibu is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Malibu bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Malibu front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Malibu 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Malibu are bad? If your Malibu 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 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
