Is It Time For 1995 Buick Riviera Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1995 Buick Riviera, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Riviera bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1995 Buick Riviera in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Riviera suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Buick Riviera’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 Riviera Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1995 Buick Riviera suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Riviera’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Buick Riviera shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1995 Buick Riviera’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1995 Riviera Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick Riviera? 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 Riviera power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Riviera’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Buick Riviera bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Riviera 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 Riviera's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Riviera'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Buick Riviera are bad? Worn Riviera shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
