Is It Time For 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Malibu bounces, 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 2018 Chevrolet Malibu in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Malibu suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Malibu’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Malibu Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Malibu shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Malibu's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • Does my Chevrolet Malibu power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Malibu’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Malibu 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Malibu front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Malibu'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Malibu are bad? Worn Malibu shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
