Does Your 1992 Chevrolet Astro Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1992 Chevrolet Astro, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Astro bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1992 Chevrolet Astro, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet Astro’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Astro Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Chevrolet Astro’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Chevrolet Astro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Astro shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Astro’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Astro Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Chevrolet Astro 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. 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 Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Astro 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 Astro is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Astro bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Astro to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Astro front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Astro shocks? Worn Astro shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Astro might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Astro shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
