Does Your 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Monte Carlo feels bouncy, pulls 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 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Monte Carlo suspension system needs repair, 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s suspension. 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 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Monte Carlo shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Monte Carlo? 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 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? 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’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Monte Carlo to have a bouncy ride? 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Monte Carlo 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.
  • 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.
