When To Get 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Grand Vitara jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Suzuki Grand Vitara Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Suzuki Grand Vitara shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Vitara’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Suzuki's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Suzuki Grand Vitara? 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 Grand Vitara power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Grand Vitara to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Grand Vitara'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 do I know if I have worn Suzuki Grand Vitara shocks? Worn Grand Vitara shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Grand Vitara might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Grand Vitara shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
