Does Your 1990 Hyundai Excel Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1990 Hyundai Excel, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Excel jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Hyundai Excel in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Excel steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Hyundai Excel Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1990 Hyundai Excel’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. 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 1990 Hyundai Excel’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Hyundai Excel shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Hyundai Excel suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 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 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Hyundai Excel? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Hyundai intended.
  • When should I have my Hyundai Excel power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Excel is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Hyundai's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Hyundai Excel to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Excel 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 Excel tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • 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.
