When To Get 1997 Suzuki Swift Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1997 Suzuki Swift, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Swift jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1997 Suzuki Swift in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Swift’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 Swift Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1997 Suzuki Swift’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. 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 1997 Suzuki Swift’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Suzuki Swift shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Swift’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1997 Suzuki Swift 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Suzuki Swift? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Suzuki intended.
  • Does my Suzuki Swift power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Swift’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Suzuki's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Suzuki Swift bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Suzuki Swift might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Swift front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Swift'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 Swift shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Swift feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Swift travels over minor bumps.
