Is It Time For 1990 Chevrolet S10 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1990 Chevrolet S10, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your S10 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 1990 Chevrolet S10 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S10 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your S10 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.

Chevrolet S10 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Chevrolet S10 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 1990 Chevrolet S10’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet S10 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S10’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 S10 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet S10? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet S10 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your S10’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet S10 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S10 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 S10's nose dive down when I hit 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet S10 need replacing? If your S10 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your S10 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
