Is It Time For 2009 Saturn Outlook Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2009 Saturn Outlook, 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 Outlook feels bouncy, sways 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 2009 Saturn Outlook, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Saturn Outlook 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 Outlook Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Saturn Outlook 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 getting your 2009 Saturn Outlook’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Saturn Outlook shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Saturn Outlook suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2009 Saturn Outlook Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Outlook's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Saturn Outlook? 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 Saturn intended.
  • Does my Saturn Outlook power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Outlook’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Saturn service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saturn Outlook 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.
  • Why does my Outlook's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Outlook combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Saturn Outlook need replacing? If your Outlook shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Outlook might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
