Does Your 1990 Geo Tracker Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 Geo Tracker, 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. Perhaps your Tracker feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1990 Geo Tracker, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Tracker suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Geo Tracker’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Geo Tracker Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Geo Tracker 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Geo Tracker shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Geo Tracker shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Geo Tracker’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1990 Tracker Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Tracker'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. 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 Geo Tracker? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Geo intended.
  • When should I have my Geo Tracker power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Geo's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Geo Tracker bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Geo Tracker 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 Tracker front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Tracker combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Geo Tracker are bad? If your Tracker 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 Tracker might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
