Is It Time For 1990 Chevrolet R3500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Chevrolet R3500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your R3500 feels bouncy, drifts 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 1990 Chevrolet R3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your R3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your R3500 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 R3500

Your 1990 Chevrolet R3500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Chevrolet R3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet R3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your R3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 R3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet R3500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet R3500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your R3500’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet R3500 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your R3500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my R3500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your R3500'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 R3500 are bad? Worn R3500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your R3500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your R3500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
