What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why should my Chevrolet Camaro get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.

When does Chevrolet Camaro 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

What can cause my Chevrolet Camaro to have a bouncy ride?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Camaro to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Camaro tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Camaro 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 Chevrolet Camaro shocks feel like?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Camaro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Camaro travels over minor bumps.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on.

Chevrolet Camaro Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1985 Chevrolet Camaro’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Chevrolet Camaro shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Camaro shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Chevrolet Camaro’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.
