Is It Time For 1991 Chevrolet Caprice Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1991 Chevrolet Caprice, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Caprice jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1991 Chevrolet Caprice 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Caprice suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Caprice

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Chevrolet Caprice suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Chevrolet Caprice’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Caprice shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Chevrolet Caprice suspension 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.

Questions About 1991 Chevrolet Caprice Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Caprice's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Caprice 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chevrolet Caprice power steering fluid need to be checked? 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 can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Caprice to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Caprice 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 Caprice front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Caprice'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 Caprice shocks feel like? 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.
