Does Your 2009 Saab 9-5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2009 Saab 9-5, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 9-5 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 2009 Saab 9-5 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 9-5 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.

Saab 9-5 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Saab 9-5’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2009 Saab 9-5’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 indicators of worn Saab 9-5 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 9-5’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 9-5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Saab's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Saab 9-5? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 should I have my Saab 9-5 power steering fluid checked? 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’ll follow Saab service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saab 9-5 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 9-5 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 9-5's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 9-5'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Saab 9-5 need replacing? Worn 9-5 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 9-5 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 9-5 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
