Is It Time For 2006 Isuzu i-280 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2006 Isuzu i-280, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your i-280 feels bouncy, sways 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 2006 Isuzu i-280 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your i-280 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your i-280 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.

Isuzu i-280 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Isuzu i-280’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2006 Isuzu i-280’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Isuzu i-280 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 Isuzu i-280’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2006 i-280 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Isuzu i-280? 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.
  • Does my Isuzu i-280 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your i-280’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Isuzu's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Isuzu i-280 bouncing excessively? 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 i-280 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your i-280 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 i-280 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your i-280 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your i-280 travels over minor bumps.
