Does Your 2000 Oldsmobile Alero Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2000 Oldsmobile Alero, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Alero jolts, pulls 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 2000 Oldsmobile Alero in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Alero steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Oldsmobile Alero

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Oldsmobile Alero suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2000 Oldsmobile Alero shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Alero shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Alero’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 Alero Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Oldsmobile's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Alero? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Oldsmobile intended.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Alero power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Alero’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Alero to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Alero goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Alero's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Alero'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 Oldsmobile Alero are bad? Worn Alero shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alero might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alero shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
