Is It Time For 1983 Buick Estate Wagon Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Buick Estate Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Estate Wagon bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1983 Buick Estate Wagon in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick Estate Wagon’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 Estate Wagon Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Buick Estate Wagon’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Estate Wagon’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick Estate Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Buick Estate Wagon’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1983 Buick Estate Wagon Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Buick'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.
  • Why should my Buick Estate Wagon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Buick Estate Wagon power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Buick Estate Wagon bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Estate Wagon 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 Estate Wagon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Estate Wagon'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 Buick Estate Wagon shocks? Worn Estate Wagon shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Estate Wagon might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Estate Wagon shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
