Does Your 2010 Pontiac G6 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Pontiac G6, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your G6 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Pontiac G6, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Pontiac G6’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 G6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Pontiac G6’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your G6’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Pontiac G6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your G6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 G6 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my G6's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Pontiac G6? 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 Pontiac intended.
  • When should I have my Pontiac G6 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your G6 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Pontiac G6 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 G6 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your G6'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 Pontiac G6 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your G6 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your G6 travels over minor bumps.
