When To Get 2017 Chevrolet Volt Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Chevrolet Volt, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Volt feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Chevrolet Volt 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Volt steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Volt

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Chevrolet Volt’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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Volt’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Volt shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Volt’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 Volt Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Volt's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Volt? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Volt power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Volt is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Volt bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Volt to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Volt front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Volt combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Volt are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Volt feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Volt travels over minor bumps.
