Does Your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sonic bounces, drifts 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 2014 Chevrolet Sonic in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet Sonic’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Sonic

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Chevrolet Sonic shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Sonic shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sonic’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sonic'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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Sonic? 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.
  • Does my Chevrolet Sonic power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sonic is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Sonic bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sonic to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sonic front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Sonic are bad? Worn Sonic shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sonic might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sonic shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
