Does Your 1984 Chevrolet El Camino Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1984 Chevrolet El Camino, 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 El Camino jolts, pulls 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 1984 Chevrolet El Camino, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your El Camino suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your El Camino steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet El Camino Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Chevrolet El Camino’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your El Camino’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet El Camino shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Chevrolet El Camino’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.

1984 El Camino Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet El Camino? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet El Camino power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet El Camino bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your El Camino 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 El Camino tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your El Camino's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet El Camino are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your El Camino feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your El Camino travels over minor bumps.
