When To Get 2000 Suzuki Esteem Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2000 Suzuki Esteem, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Esteem jolts, 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 2000 Suzuki Esteem, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Esteem suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Esteem steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Suzuki Esteem Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Suzuki Esteem’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Esteem’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Suzuki Esteem shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Esteem’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2000 Suzuki Esteem Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Suzuki's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Suzuki Esteem 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 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 Suzuki Esteem power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Esteem’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Suzuki service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Suzuki Esteem bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Esteem goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Esteem tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Esteem'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Suzuki Esteem are bad? Worn Esteem shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Esteem might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Esteem shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
