Is It Time For 2010 Saturn Vue Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2010 Saturn Vue, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Vue feels bouncy, sways 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 2010 Saturn Vue in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2010 Saturn Vue’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Vue’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Saturn Vue shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Vue’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2010 Saturn Vue Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saturn's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Saturn Vue get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 connect with the road how Saturn intended.
  • When does Saturn Vue power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Vue is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saturn Vue bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Saturn Vue 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 Vue tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Vue'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Saturn Vue need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Vue feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Vue travels over minor bumps.
