Does Your 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Trailblazer feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Trailblazer steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Trailblazer

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Trailblazer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2008 Trailblazer Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Trailblazer's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Trailblazer? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Trailblazer 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Trailblazer bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Trailblazer to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Trailblazer's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Trailblazer 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 Trailblazer need replacing? Worn Trailblazer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Trailblazer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Trailblazer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
