Is It Time For 2009 Pontiac Torrent Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 Pontiac Torrent, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Torrent bounces, leans 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 2009 Pontiac Torrent, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Torrent 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 Torrent steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac Torrent Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2009 Pontiac Torrent’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Pontiac Torrent shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Pontiac Torrent shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Pontiac Torrent’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 Torrent Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Torrent's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Pontiac Torrent get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Pontiac Torrent power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Torrent’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Pontiac Torrent bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac Torrent 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Torrent to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Torrent'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 do worn Pontiac Torrent shocks feel like? If your Torrent 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 Torrent might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
