Does Your 2015 Chevrolet Trax Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2015 Chevrolet Trax, 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 Trax bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 Chevrolet Trax, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet Trax’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Trax Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2015 Chevrolet Trax’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Chevrolet Trax shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Trax shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Chevrolet Trax’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 Trax Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Trax get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Trax power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Trax’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Trax bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Trax might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Trax to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Trax when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Trax are bad? Worn Trax shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Trax might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Trax shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
