Is It Time For 1993 Geo Prizm Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 Geo Prizm, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Prizm jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Geo Prizm in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Geo Prizm’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.

Geo Prizm Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Geo Prizm’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Prizm’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Geo Prizm shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Geo Prizm suspension 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.

1993 Prizm Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Prizm's steering and 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 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 Geo Prizm? 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 connect with the road how Geo intended.
  • When does Geo Prizm 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 Prizm’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Geo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Geo Prizm bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Geo Prizm 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.
  • Why does my Prizm front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Prizm when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Geo Prizm shocks? Worn Prizm shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Prizm might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Prizm shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
