When To Get 1987 GMC Caballero Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 GMC Caballero, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Caballero bounces, pulls 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 1987 GMC Caballero in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Caballero 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 GMC Caballero’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Caballero Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1987 GMC Caballero’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1987 GMC Caballero shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn GMC Caballero shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 GMC Caballero 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.

1987 Caballero Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC'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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Caballero? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Caballero power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Caballero is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Caballero bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Caballero 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 Caballero tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Caballero'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 do I know if I have worn GMC Caballero shocks? Worn Caballero shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Caballero might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Caballero shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
