Does Your 1988 Isuzu Trooper Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1988 Isuzu Trooper, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Trooper bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1988 Isuzu Trooper, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Trooper steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Isuzu Trooper Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1988 Isuzu Trooper’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1988 Isuzu Trooper shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Isuzu Trooper shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 Isuzu Trooper suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1988 Trooper Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Isuzu's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Isuzu intended.
  • When should I have my Isuzu Trooper power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Trooper is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Isuzu service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Isuzu Trooper bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Trooper 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 Trooper to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Trooper combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Isuzu Trooper are bad? Worn Trooper shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
