Is It Time For 1987 Chevrolet V10 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Chevrolet V10, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your V10 feels bouncy, pulls 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 1987 Chevrolet V10 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your V10 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 your Chevrolet V10’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet V10 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1987 Chevrolet V10’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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Chevrolet V10 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet V10 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Chevrolet V10’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.

Questions About 1987 Chevrolet V10 Steering & Suspension

  • 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. 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 V10? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet V10 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your V10’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet V10 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your V10 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my V10 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 V10 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V10 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V10 travels over minor bumps.
