Is It Time For 1988 Isuzu Impulse Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1988 Isuzu Impulse, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Impulse bounces, drifts 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 1988 Isuzu Impulse in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Isuzu Impulse

Your 1988 Isuzu Impulse’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1988 Isuzu Impulse’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Isuzu Impulse shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Isuzu Impulse’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1988 Impulse Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Isuzu's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 should my Isuzu Impulse get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Isuzu Impulse power steering fluid need to be 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 can fill it per Isuzu's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Isuzu Impulse to have a bouncy ride? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Impulse'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.
  • 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.
