Is It Time For 1999 Chevrolet Lumina Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Chevrolet Lumina, 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 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Chevrolet Lumina in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Lumina suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Lumina suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Lumina Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1999 Chevrolet Lumina’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Chevrolet Lumina shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Lumina shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Chevrolet Lumina’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Lumina Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Lumina? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When does Chevrolet Lumina power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Lumina is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Lumina 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Lumina to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Lumina 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.
  • What do worn Chevrolet Lumina shocks feel like? Worn Lumina shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Lumina might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Lumina shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
