When To Get 2009 Saturn Vue Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2009 Saturn Vue, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Vue bounces, drifts 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 Vue, 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Vue steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Saturn Vue Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Saturn Vue suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2009 Saturn Vue shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Saturn Vue shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Saturn Vue suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2009 Saturn Vue Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saturn's 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Saturn Vue? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Saturn Vue power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Vue’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 Vue bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Vue to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Vue tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Vue 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 Vue need replacing? Worn Vue shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
