When To Get 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, 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 Trailblazer EXT jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper 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 problem and, if your Trailblazer EXT suspension system needs repair, 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 your Trailblazer EXT 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 Trailblazer EXT Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Trailblazer EXT’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Trailblazer EXT’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.

Questions About 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Trailblazer EXT's steering and 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 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. 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.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 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 Trailblazer EXT to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Trailblazer EXT to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Trailblazer EXT'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 Trailblazer EXT are bad? If your Trailblazer EXT shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Trailblazer EXT might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
