Does Your 1991 Buick Roadmaster Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Buick Roadmaster, 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 Roadmaster bounces, drifts 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 1991 Buick Roadmaster in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Roadmaster 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 Roadmaster Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1991 Buick Roadmaster’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Buick Roadmaster’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Buick Roadmaster shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Buick Roadmaster’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1991 Buick Roadmaster Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Buick Roadmaster get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Buick Roadmaster power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Roadmaster’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Buick Roadmaster bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Buick Roadmaster 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Roadmaster to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Roadmaster'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Buick Roadmaster need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Roadmaster feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Roadmaster travels over minor bumps.
