Is It Time For 2003 Saturn LW300 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2003 Saturn LW300, 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. Maybe your LW300 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Saturn LW300, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Saturn LW300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Saturn LW300 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Saturn LW300’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Saturn LW300’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Saturn LW300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Saturn LW300 suspension 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.

2003 LW300 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Saturn's 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 Saturn LW300? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Saturn LW300 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saturn LW300 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my LW300 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LW300'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Saturn LW300 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LW300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LW300 travels over minor bumps.
