When To Get 2006 Saab 9-2X Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2006 Saab 9-2X, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 9-2X feels bouncy, sways 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 2006 Saab 9-2X in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Saab 9-2X suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Saab 9-2X Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Saab 9-2X’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Saab up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 9-2X’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Saab 9-2X shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Saab 9-2X suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2006 9-2X Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saab's 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Saab 9-2X? 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 connect with the road how Saab intended.
  • When does Saab 9-2X 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 9-2X is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Saab service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Saab 9-2X to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 9-2X goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my 9-2X front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 9-2X 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Saab 9-2X are bad? Worn 9-2X shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 9-2X might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 9-2X shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
