When To Get 2011 Chevrolet Traverse Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Traverse jolts, drifts 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 2011 Chevrolet Traverse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Traverse suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Traverse steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Traverse Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2011 Chevrolet Traverse shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Traverse shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 Traverse Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Traverse's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Traverse? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Traverse power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Traverse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Traverse to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Traverse goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Traverse to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Traverse 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 Traverse are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Traverse feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Traverse travels over minor bumps.
