Does Your 1990 GMC S15 Jimmy Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 GMC S15 Jimmy, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your S15 Jimmy feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 GMC S15 Jimmy 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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S15 Jimmy suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S15 Jimmy steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC S15 Jimmy Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 GMC S15 Jimmy’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 GMC S15 Jimmy’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC S15 Jimmy shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S15 Jimmy’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 S15 Jimmy Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's 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 GMC S15 Jimmy? 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 GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC S15 Jimmy power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S15 Jimmy’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC S15 Jimmy bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my S15 Jimmy's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC S15 Jimmy are bad? Worn S15 Jimmy shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S15 Jimmy might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S15 Jimmy shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
