When To Get 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your S10 Blazer feels bouncy, sways 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 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your S10 Blazer 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 parts of your Chevrolet S10 Blazer 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 S10 Blazer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s suspension. 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 getting your 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet S10 Blazer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s 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 1983 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S10 Blazer's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet S10 Blazer 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 S10 Blazer’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet S10 Blazer bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet S10 Blazer might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my S10 Blazer tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S10 Blazer'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet S10 Blazer need replacing? Worn S10 Blazer shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
