When To Get 1997 Isuzu Hombre Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1997 Isuzu Hombre, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Hombre jolts, sways 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 1997 Isuzu Hombre in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Hombre steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Isuzu Hombre Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1997 Isuzu Hombre’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Isuzu Hombre’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Hombre Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Isuzu's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Isuzu Hombre? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Isuzu intended.
  • 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 Hombre’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Isuzu's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Isuzu Hombre bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Hombre to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Isuzu Hombre shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Hombre feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Hombre travels over minor bumps.
