Is It Time For 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your V20 Suburban jolts, leans 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 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your V20 Suburban 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 V20 Suburban 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 V20 Suburban Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet V20 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V20 Suburban’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 1987 Chevrolet V20 Suburban 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 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 V20 Suburban? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chevrolet V20 Suburban power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your V20 Suburban’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet V20 Suburban bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet V20 Suburban 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 V20 Suburban to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your V20 Suburban'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 V20 Suburban are bad? Worn V20 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your V20 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your V20 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
