When To Get 1989 Chevrolet G10 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1989 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. Perhaps your G10 feels bouncy, drifts 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 1989 Chevrolet G10 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your G10 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your G10 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 1989 Chevrolet G10’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet G10 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Chevrolet G10’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1989 Chevrolet G10 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet G10 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your G10’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet G10 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your G10 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 G10 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your G10 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 G10 shocks feel like? 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.
