Is It Time For 2005 Isuzu Ascender Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2005 Isuzu Ascender, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ascender jolts, leans 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 2005 Isuzu Ascender, bring it 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, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Ascender steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Isuzu Ascender Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Isuzu Ascender’s suspension. 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 Ascender’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Isuzu Ascender shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Isuzu Ascender’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 Ascender Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Isuzu's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Isuzu Ascender? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Isuzu intended.
  • When does Isuzu Ascender 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 Ascender’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Isuzu Ascender bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Ascender's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ascender'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Isuzu Ascender are bad? Worn Ascender shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
