Does Your 2006 Chevrolet Uplander Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Uplander feels bouncy, 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 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Uplander’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 Uplander Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Chevrolet Uplander suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Uplander’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Uplander shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Chevrolet Uplander suspension 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 2006 Chevrolet Uplander Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Uplander? 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 Uplander power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Uplander is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Uplander bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Uplander 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.
  • Why does my Uplander front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Uplander 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.
  • What do worn Chevrolet Uplander shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Uplander feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Uplander travels over minor bumps.
