Does Your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Lumina APV bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV in for suspension and steering service. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Lumina APV’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Lumina APV Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Lumina APV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 Lumina APV Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's 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 Lumina APV 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. 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 should I have my Chevrolet Lumina APV power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Lumina APV is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Lumina APV bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Lumina APV to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Lumina APV front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Lumina APV 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Lumina APV are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Lumina APV feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Lumina APV travels over minor bumps.
