Does Your 2021 Chevrolet Trax Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Chevrolet Trax, 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 Trax jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Chevrolet Trax in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Trax suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Chevrolet Trax suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Trax Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Chevrolet Trax suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Trax’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Trax shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Trax’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 Trax Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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 should my Chevrolet Trax get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Trax power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Trax is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Trax to have a bouncy ride? 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 momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Trax'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Trax need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Trax feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Trax travels over minor bumps.
