What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Chevrolet Trailblazer power steering fluid need to be 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’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why does my Chevrolet Trailblazer 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 to bounce more than usual.

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

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Trailblazer'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.

What do worn Chevrolet Trailblazer shocks feel like?

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.

Is It Time For 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 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 Trailblazer jolts, 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 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Trailblazer suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet Trailblazer’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Trailblazer Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer’s suspension. 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 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’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Trailblazer shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Trailblazer’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
