Does Your 1999 Buick Century Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1999 Buick Century, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Century bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Buick Century, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Century suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick Century’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Buick Century Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1999 Buick Century’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Buick Century shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Buick Century shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Buick Century’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1999 Buick Century Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Buick's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick Century? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick Century power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Century is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Buick Century to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Century's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Century'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Buick Century need replacing? Worn Century shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Century might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Century shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
