Is It Time For 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1991 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, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your S15 Jimmy 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 parts of your GMC S15 Jimmy suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC S15 Jimmy Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your GMC S15 Jimmy shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC S15 Jimmy? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC S15 Jimmy power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your S15 Jimmy’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my GMC S15 Jimmy bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S15 Jimmy 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 S15 Jimmy front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S15 Jimmy'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC S15 Jimmy need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S15 Jimmy feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S15 Jimmy travels over minor bumps.
