Does Your 2001 Pontiac Aztek Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2001 Pontiac Aztek, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Aztek jolts, sways 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 2001 Pontiac Aztek in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Aztek suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Aztek steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac Aztek Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Pontiac Aztek suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Pontiac up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Aztek’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Pontiac Aztek shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Aztek’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.

2001 Aztek Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Aztek's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Pontiac Aztek? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Pontiac Aztek 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 Aztek’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Pontiac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Pontiac Aztek bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac Aztek 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 Aztek's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Pontiac Aztek are bad? If your Aztek 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 Aztek might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
