Does Your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Corsica jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 Corsica 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.

Chevrolet Corsica Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Corsica shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Chevrolet Corsica’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1996 Corsica 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Corsica 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 the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Corsica power steering fluid 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 top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Corsica bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Corsica to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Corsica front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Corsica 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 Corsica are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Corsica feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Corsica travels over minor bumps.
