When To Get 1999 Saturn SW2 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1999 Saturn SW2, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your SW2 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Saturn SW2 in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your SW2 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SW2 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Saturn SW2 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1999 Saturn SW2’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Saturn up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Saturn SW2’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Saturn SW2 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Saturn SW2’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1999 SW2 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saturn's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 SW2? 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 connect with the road how Saturn intended.
  • Does my Saturn SW2 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 SW2’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Saturn service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Saturn SW2 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Saturn SW2 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my SW2 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SW2 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 do worn Saturn SW2 shocks feel like? Worn SW2 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SW2 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SW2 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
