Is It Time For 2016 Chevrolet Spark Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Chevrolet Spark, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Spark jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Chevrolet Spark, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Spark 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 Spark Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Chevrolet Spark’s suspension. 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 getting your 2016 Chevrolet Spark’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Spark shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Spark’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Spark Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Spark 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chevrolet Spark 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 Spark is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Spark 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 Spark to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Spark's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Spark need replacing? Worn Spark shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Spark might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Spark shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
