Does Your 2004 Pontiac Aztek Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Pontiac Aztek, 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 Aztek feels bouncy, drifts 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 2004 Pontiac Aztek in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Pontiac Aztek’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.

Pontiac Aztek Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Pontiac Aztek’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2004 Pontiac Aztek shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Pontiac Aztek shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2004 Pontiac Aztek’s 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.

2004 Aztek Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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.
  • 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 the tires connect with the road how Pontiac intended.
  • When should I have my Pontiac Aztek power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. 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 does my Pontiac Aztek bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Aztek to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Aztek's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Aztek combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Pontiac Aztek shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Aztek feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Aztek travels over minor bumps.
