When To Get 2004 Pontiac GTO Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2004 Pontiac GTO, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your GTO jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2004 Pontiac GTO in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Pontiac GTO’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac GTO Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Pontiac GTO suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2004 Pontiac GTO shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Pontiac GTO shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Pontiac GTO suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2004 Pontiac GTO Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Pontiac'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Pontiac GTO get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does Pontiac GTO power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GTO is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Pontiac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Pontiac GTO bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac GTO 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 GTO front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your GTO 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 GTO shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GTO feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GTO travels over minor bumps.
