When To Get 2008 Saturn Sky Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2008 Saturn Sky, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sky bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Saturn Sky in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, 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 Sky suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Saturn Sky Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Saturn Sky’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2008 Saturn Sky shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Saturn Sky shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sky’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Sky Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sky'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Saturn Sky? 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.
  • When should I have my Saturn Sky power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sky’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Saturn Sky bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Saturn Sky might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Sky's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sky'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 do I know if I have worn Saturn Sky shocks? If your Sky 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 Sky might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
