Does Your 2010 Pontiac Vibe Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2010 Pontiac Vibe, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Vibe jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Pontiac Vibe in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Vibe suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Pontiac Vibe suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Pontiac Vibe Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2010 Pontiac Vibe’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Vibe’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Pontiac Vibe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Vibe’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 Pontiac Vibe Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Vibe'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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Pontiac Vibe? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Pontiac intended.
  • When should I have my Pontiac Vibe power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Vibe is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Pontiac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Pontiac Vibe bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Vibe to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Vibe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Vibe when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Pontiac Vibe are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Vibe feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Vibe travels over minor bumps.
