Is It Time For 2012 Chevrolet Traverse Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 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 Traverse jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Traverse Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Traverse’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Traverse shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 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.

Questions About 2012 Chevrolet Traverse Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Traverse? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Traverse 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 Traverse’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Traverse bounce so much? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Traverse'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 Traverse shocks feel like? 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.
