When To Get 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 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 Monte Carlo bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Monte Carlo’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 Monte Carlo Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Monte Carlo shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suspension 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.

1987 Monte Carlo Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Monte Carlo's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Monte Carlo? 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 does Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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 Monte Carlo is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Monte Carlo bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Monte Carlo to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Monte Carlo front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Monte Carlo 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 do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Monte Carlo shocks? Worn Monte Carlo shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Monte Carlo might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Monte Carlo shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
