Does Your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Traverse bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse, bring it 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Chevrolet Traverse’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Traverse Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Traverse shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Traverse’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 Traverse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Traverse bouncing 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 Traverse tilt forward when I hit 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 Traverse shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Traverse might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Traverse shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
