Does Your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sonic jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sonic steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Sonic Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2019 Chevrolet Sonic’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2019 Chevrolet Sonic’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Sonic shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sonic’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2019 Chevrolet Sonic Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 Sonic get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Sonic power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Sonic to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sonic goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Sonic's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sonic 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.
  • What do worn Chevrolet Sonic shocks feel like? 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.
