Is It Time For 2002 Suzuki Esteem Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2002 Suzuki Esteem, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Esteem bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Suzuki Esteem 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Suzuki Esteem suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Suzuki Esteem suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2002 Suzuki Esteem’s shocks and struts replaced 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 indicators of worn Suzuki Esteem shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Esteem’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 Esteem Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Suzuki's 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.
  • Why should my Suzuki Esteem get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Suzuki Esteem 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 Esteem is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Suzuki's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Suzuki Esteem bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Esteem to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Esteem's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Esteem when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Suzuki Esteem shocks? 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.
