Is It Time For 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Grand Prix feels bouncy, pulls 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 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Pontiac Grand Prix suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac Grand Prix Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Pontiac Grand Prix shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Pontiac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Pontiac Grand Prix get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Grand Prix 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 Grand Prix’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Pontiac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Pontiac Grand Prix bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac Grand Prix 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 Grand Prix tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Grand Prix 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 Grand Prix shocks feel like? Worn Grand Prix shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Grand Prix might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Grand Prix shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
