Does Your 2011 Suzuki Equator Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2011 Suzuki Equator, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Equator jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2011 Suzuki Equator in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Equator suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Suzuki Equator suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Suzuki Equator Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Suzuki Equator’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Suzuki Equator shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Suzuki Equator shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Suzuki Equator’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 Equator Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Suzuki'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 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 Suzuki Equator get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When does Suzuki Equator power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Equator’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Suzuki's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Suzuki Equator bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Suzuki Equator 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 Equator's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Equator'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 Suzuki Equator need replacing? If your Equator 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 Equator might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
