Does Your 1988 Buick LeSabre Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1988 Buick LeSabre, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LeSabre bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1988 Buick LeSabre in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Buick LeSabre’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Buick LeSabre Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1988 Buick LeSabre’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1988 Buick LeSabre shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, 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 1988 Buick LeSabre’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1988 Buick LeSabre 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 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 LeSabre? 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.
  • When should I have my Buick LeSabre power steering fluid 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’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Buick LeSabre bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LeSabre to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LeSabre's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LeSabre'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 do worn Buick LeSabre shocks feel like? 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.
