Does Your 1991 Buick LeSabre Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Buick LeSabre, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LeSabre jolts, sways 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 1991 Buick LeSabre in for steering and suspension services. 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your LeSabre suspension system needs repair, 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Buick LeSabre’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1991 Buick LeSabre shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick LeSabre shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Buick LeSabre’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 LeSabre Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Buick's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Buick LeSabre? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Buick intended.
  • Does my Buick LeSabre 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 LeSabre’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Buick LeSabre bounce so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my LeSabre to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LeSabre when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Buick LeSabre shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LeSabre feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LeSabre travels over minor bumps.
