Is It Time For 1996 Isuzu Hombre Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1996 Isuzu Hombre, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Hombre jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1996 Isuzu Hombre 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Isuzu Hombre’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Isuzu Hombre Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1996 Isuzu Hombre’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Hombre’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Isuzu Hombre shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Hombre’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1996 Hombre Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Hombre's steering and 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Isuzu Hombre? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Isuzu Hombre power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Isuzu Hombre to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Hombre might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Hombre's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Hombre 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Isuzu Hombre shocks? Worn Hombre shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Hombre might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Hombre shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
