Is It Time For 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your S10 Blazer bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet S10 Blazer

Your 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet S10 Blazer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Chevrolet S10 Blazer suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1985 S10 Blazer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S10 Blazer's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet S10 Blazer to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my S10 Blazer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Chevrolet S10 Blazer shocks feel like? Worn S10 Blazer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S10 Blazer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S10 Blazer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
