Does Your 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1989 Chevrolet Caprice, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Caprice bounces, leans 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 1989 Chevrolet Caprice in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Caprice’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Caprice Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Chevrolet Caprice suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1989 Chevrolet Caprice shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Caprice shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Caprice’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Steering & Suspension

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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 Caprice? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chevrolet Caprice 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’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Caprice bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Caprice to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Caprice tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Caprice 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Caprice are bad? Worn Caprice shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Caprice might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Caprice shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
