Does Your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette, 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. Maybe your Chevette bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Chevrolet Chevette suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Chevette Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Chevette shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Chevrolet Chevette suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1984 Chevrolet Chevette Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Chevette 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet Chevette power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Chevette’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Chevette to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Chevette goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Chevette tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Chevette 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 Chevette need replacing? Worn Chevette shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Chevette might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Chevette shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
