When To Get 2006 Saturn Relay Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2006 Saturn Relay, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Relay feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Saturn Relay in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your Saturn Relay’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Saturn Relay Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Saturn Relay suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2006 Saturn Relay 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 could all be indicators of worn Saturn Relay shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Relay’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 2006 Saturn Relay Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Relay'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Saturn Relay get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Saturn intended.
  • Does my Saturn Relay 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 Relay’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saturn Relay bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Relay 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.
  • Why does my Relay front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Relay'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 Relay are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Relay feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Relay travels over minor bumps.
