Does Your 1988 Hyundai Excel Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1988 Hyundai Excel, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Excel bounces, pulls 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 1988 Hyundai Excel in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Hyundai Excel Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1988 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Excel’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Hyundai Excel shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 Hyundai Excel suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1988 Hyundai Excel Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai'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 should my Hyundai Excel get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Hyundai Excel power steering fluid need to be checked? 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.
  • Why is my Hyundai Excel 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 Excel tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Excel when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Hyundai Excel need replacing? 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.
