Does Your 1987 Chevrolet G10 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Chevrolet G10, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your G10 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 1987 Chevrolet G10 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Chevrolet G10 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 G10 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Chevrolet G10’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car 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. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet G10 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your G10’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1987 Chevrolet G10 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet G10? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet G10 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your G10’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet G10 to have a bouncy ride? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your G10 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 G10 are bad? Worn G10 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your G10 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your G10 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
