Is It Time For 1988 Isuzu Pickup Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1988 Isuzu Pickup, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Pickup jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1988 Isuzu Pickup in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Isuzu Pickup’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 Pickup Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1988 Isuzu Pickup’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Pickup’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Isuzu Pickup shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Isuzu Pickup’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1988 Isuzu Pickup Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Isuzu's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Isuzu Pickup? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • Does my Isuzu Pickup power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Isuzu's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Isuzu Pickup bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Pickup 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 Pickup's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Pickup'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 do worn Isuzu Pickup shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Pickup feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Pickup travels over minor bumps.
