When To Get 1986 Isuzu Impulse Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1986 Isuzu Impulse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Impulse feels bouncy, 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 1986 Isuzu Impulse in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Isuzu Impulse suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Isuzu Impulse

Your 1986 Isuzu Impulse’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Isuzu up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Impulse’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Isuzu Impulse shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Impulse’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1986 Impulse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Isuzu'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Isuzu Impulse 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.
  • When should I have my Isuzu Impulse power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Impulse is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Isuzu Impulse bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Impulse 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 Impulse's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Impulse 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Isuzu Impulse are bad? Worn Impulse shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Impulse might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Impulse shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
