Does Your 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 Chevrolet Corvette, 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 Corvette jolts, leans 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 1990 Chevrolet Corvette in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Chevrolet Corvette suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Corvette Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1990 Chevrolet Corvette’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Corvette’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Corvette shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Chevrolet Corvette’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 Corvette Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Corvette 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.
  • Does my Chevrolet Corvette power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Corvette’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Corvette to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Corvette 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Corvette to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Corvette 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 do worn Chevrolet Corvette shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Corvette feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Corvette travels over minor bumps.
