When To Get 1992 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1992 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S10 Blazer bounces, 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 1992 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, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S10 Blazer suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S10 Blazer steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet S10 Blazer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet S10 Blazer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 S10 Blazer Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chevrolet S10 Blazer power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my S10 Blazer's nose dive down 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet S10 Blazer are bad? 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.
