When To Get 1992 Chevrolet Caprice Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1992 Chevrolet Caprice, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Caprice feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1992 Chevrolet Caprice in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Chevrolet Caprice’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 1992 Chevrolet Caprice’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Caprice shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1992 Chevrolet Caprice suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1992 Caprice Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Caprice? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chevrolet Caprice power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Caprice is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Caprice bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Caprice tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Caprice when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Caprice need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Caprice feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Caprice travels over minor bumps.
