Does Your 1987 Hyundai Excel Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Hyundai Excel, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Excel jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Hyundai Excel, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at 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 source of your car problems 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 parts of your Hyundai Excel suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Hyundai Excel Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1987 Hyundai Excel’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1987 Hyundai Excel’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Hyundai Excel shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Hyundai Excel’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1987 Excel Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Excel's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Hyundai Excel? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Hyundai intended.
  • When does Hyundai Excel 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 Excel is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Hyundai service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Hyundai Excel to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Excel to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Excel to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Excel'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 Hyundai Excel shocks? Worn Excel shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Excel might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Excel shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
