Does Your 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Lumina APV jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Lumina APV shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Lumina APV’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 Lumina APV Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Lumina APV'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. 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 Lumina APV? 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 Lumina APV 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 Lumina APV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Lumina APV bounce so much? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Lumina APV need replacing? If your Lumina APV shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Lumina APV might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
