Does Your 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. 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 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Monte Carlo steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Monte Carlo shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suspension 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.

Questions About 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Monte Carlo power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Monte Carlo 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 Monte Carlo to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Monte Carlo's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Monte Carlo's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Monte Carlo are bad? 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.
