Is It Time For 1991 Buick Skylark Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1991 Buick Skylark, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Skylark feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Buick Skylark in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Skylark 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Buick Skylark

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Buick Skylark’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Buick up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Buick Skylark’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 rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Buick Skylark shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Buick Skylark’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Skylark Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Skylark's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Buick Skylark get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Buick Skylark 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 can fill it per Buick's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Buick Skylark bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Skylark to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Skylark front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Skylark 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.
  • What do worn Buick Skylark shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Skylark feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Skylark travels over minor bumps.
