Does Your 1986 Chevrolet G10 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1986 Chevrolet G10, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your G10 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1986 Chevrolet G10 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your G10 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 G10 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Chevrolet G10’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your G10’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet G10 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Chevrolet G10’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.

Questions About 1986 Chevrolet G10 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my G10's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet G10? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet G10 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your G10 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet G10 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 G10 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my G10 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your G10'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 do I know if I have worn Chevrolet G10 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your G10 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your G10 travels over minor bumps.
