Does Your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Grand Vitara jolts, pulls 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 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Suzuki Grand Vitara

Your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Suzuki Grand Vitara shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2008 Grand Vitara Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Vitara's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Suzuki Grand Vitara? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Grand Vitara’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Suzuki's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Suzuki Grand Vitara bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Suzuki Grand Vitara shocks feel like? 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.
