Does Your 2009 Suzuki Equator Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Suzuki Equator, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Equator bounces, pulls 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 2009 Suzuki Equator in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub 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 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 Equator 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Suzuki Equator

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Suzuki Equator’s suspension. 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 Suzuki Equator shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Suzuki Equator shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Equator’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2009 Suzuki Equator Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Equator's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Suzuki Equator? 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 Suzuki intended.
  • Does my Suzuki Equator power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Equator is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Suzuki service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Suzuki Equator bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Equator to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Equator to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Equator 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Suzuki Equator are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Equator feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Equator travels over minor bumps.
