When To Get 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Aurora feels bouncy, leans 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 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 Aurora 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.

Oldsmobile Aurora Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Aurora shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Aurora’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Aurora's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Aurora? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Aurora power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Aurora is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Aurora to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Oldsmobile Aurora 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 Aurora tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Aurora 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.
  • What do worn Oldsmobile Aurora shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Aurora feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Aurora travels over minor bumps.
