Does Your 2019 Chevrolet Volt Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2019 Chevrolet Volt, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Volt feels bouncy, 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 2019 Chevrolet Volt in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Chevrolet Volt’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Volt

Your 2019 Chevrolet Volt’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Volt’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Volt shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Chevrolet Volt’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2019 Volt Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Volt? 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 come into contact with the road in the way 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’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Volt to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Volt need replacing? If your Volt shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Volt might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
