Does Your 2007 Saab 9-3 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2007 Saab 9-3, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 9-3 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Saab 9-3 in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 9-3 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 Saab 9-3 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Saab 9-3

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Saab 9-3’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Saab 9-3’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Saab 9-3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Saab 9-3 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2007 Saab 9-3 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 9-3's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Saab 9-3 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Saab intended.
  • When does Saab 9-3 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Saab's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Saab 9-3 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 9-3 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 9-3's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Saab 9-3 are bad? Worn 9-3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 9-3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 9-3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
