Does Your 2008 Isuzu Ascender Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2008 Isuzu Ascender, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Ascender feels bouncy, leans 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 2008 Isuzu Ascender in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Isuzu Ascender’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.

Isuzu Ascender Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Isuzu Ascender’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Isuzu Ascender’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Isuzu Ascender shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Isuzu Ascender’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Ascender Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ascender's steering and 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 Isuzu Ascender 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 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 your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Isuzu Ascender bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Ascender 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 Ascender's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Ascender 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Isuzu Ascender shocks? Worn Ascender shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ascender might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ascender shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
