Does Your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Trailblazer EXT jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT’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.

Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT suspension system. 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 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2004 Trailblazer EXT Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 Trailblazer EXT is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Trailblazer EXT front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Trailblazer EXT 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT are bad? Worn Trailblazer EXT shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Trailblazer EXT might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Trailblazer EXT shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
