Does Your 2002 Saturn L100 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2002 Saturn L100, 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 L100 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2002 Saturn L100, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Saturn L100 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.

Saturn L100 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Saturn L100 suspension system. 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 Saturn up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Saturn L100 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Saturn L100 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your L100’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Saturn L100 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my L100's steering and 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. 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 Saturn L100? 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 Saturn intended.
  • When should I have my Saturn L100 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your L100’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Saturn's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Saturn L100 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your L100 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my L100 to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Saturn L100 need replacing? Worn L100 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your L100 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your L100 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
