When To Get 1991 Buick Regal Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1991 Buick Regal, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Regal jolts, 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 1991 Buick Regal in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick Regal’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 Regal Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Buick Regal’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Buick Regal’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick Regal shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Regal’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1991 Buick Regal Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Buick Regal get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Buick intended.
  • When does Buick Regal 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 Regal is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Buick service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Buick Regal to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Buick Regal might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Regal front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Regal 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Regal are bad? Worn Regal shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Regal might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Regal shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
