When To Get 2005 Saab 9-7x Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2005 Saab 9-7x, 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. Perhaps your 9-7x feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2005 Saab 9-7x in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 9-7x 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 9-7x Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2005 Saab 9-7x’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Saab 9-7x shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Saab 9-7x shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Saab 9-7x suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2005 9-7x Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 9-7x's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Saab 9-7x? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Saab intended.
  • Does my Saab 9-7x power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 9-7x is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Saab service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Saab 9-7x bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 9-7x to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 9-7x front end dip forward when I brake? 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 9-7x are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 9-7x feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 9-7x travels over minor bumps.
