When To Get 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2010 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, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Suzuki Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2010 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 Grand Vitara’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Suzuki Grand Vitara shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2010 Grand Vitara Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Suzuki intended.
  • When does Suzuki Grand Vitara power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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’ll top it off per Suzuki's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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 dip in the front end of your Grand Vitara 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 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.
