Does Your 1989 Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1989 Chevrolet Blazer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Blazer jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Chevrolet Blazer, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Blazer suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Blazer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Blazer

Your 1989 Chevrolet Blazer’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1989 Chevrolet Blazer shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Chevrolet Blazer’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 1989 Chevrolet Blazer Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Blazer's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Blazer? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet Blazer power steering fluid need to be 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 Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Blazer bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Blazer 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 Blazer's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Blazer'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 do worn Chevrolet Blazer shocks feel like? Worn Blazer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Blazer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Blazer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
