Is It Time For 1983 Buick LeSabre Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Buick LeSabre, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LeSabre bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Buick LeSabre in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 LeSabre steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Buick LeSabre Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1983 Buick LeSabre’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Buick LeSabre shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Buick LeSabre shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Buick LeSabre’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1983 LeSabre Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick LeSabre? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Buick LeSabre power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Buick LeSabre to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LeSabre 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 LeSabre's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LeSabre combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Buick LeSabre shocks? Worn LeSabre shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LeSabre might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LeSabre shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
