Does Your 2002 Isuzu Axiom Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Isuzu Axiom, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Axiom bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Isuzu Axiom in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 Isuzu Axiom’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.

Isuzu Axiom Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Isuzu Axiom suspension system. 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 Isuzu up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Axiom’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 rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Isuzu Axiom shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Isuzu Axiom suspension 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.

2002 Axiom Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Isuzu's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Isuzu Axiom? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Isuzu intended.
  • Does my Isuzu Axiom power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Axiom’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Isuzu Axiom to have a bouncy ride? 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 Axiom's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Axiom'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Isuzu Axiom need replacing? Worn Axiom shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Axiom might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Axiom shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
