Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Spark's steering and suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why should my Chevrolet Spark get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

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 the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.

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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Chevrolet Spark bouncing excessively?

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.

What can cause the front end of my Spark to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Spark 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 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.

Is It Time For 2019 Chevrolet Spark Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2019 Chevrolet Spark, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Spark 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 Spark in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Chevrolet Spark suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Spark Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2019 Chevrolet Spark’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. 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 2019 Chevrolet Spark shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Spark shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Spark’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
