Is It Time For 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier, 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 Cavalier jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 your Cavalier steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Cavalier Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier’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. 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 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Cavalier shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Cavalier get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Cavalier power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cavalier’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Cavalier bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Cavalier to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cavalier tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cavalier 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 do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Cavalier shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cavalier feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cavalier travels over minor bumps.
