Does Your 1987 Isuzu Trooper Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 Isuzu Trooper, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Trooper bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Isuzu Trooper, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Trooper suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Isuzu Trooper 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.

Isuzu Trooper Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Isuzu Trooper suspension system. 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 1987 Isuzu Trooper shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Isuzu Trooper shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Trooper’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.

1987 Trooper 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Isuzu Trooper? 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 Trooper 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 Trooper bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Trooper's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Trooper 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 Trooper shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Trooper feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Trooper travels over minor bumps.
