When To Get 1991 Chevrolet Corvette Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1991 Chevrolet Corvette, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Corvette bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Chevrolet Corvette, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Chevrolet Corvette’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Corvette Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Chevrolet Corvette suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Chevrolet Corvette’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Corvette shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Corvette’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Corvette Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Corvette's steering and 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.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Corvette get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Corvette power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Corvette’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Corvette bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Corvette 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 Corvette's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Corvette shocks? Worn Corvette shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Corvette might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Corvette shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
