Does Your 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Achieva bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Oldsmobile Achieva’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Oldsmobile Achieva

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Achieva shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Achieva’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 Achieva Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Achieva? 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.
  • When does Oldsmobile Achieva power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Achieva is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Achieva to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Achieva to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Achieva tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Achieva 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Achieva need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Achieva feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Achieva travels over minor bumps.
