Is It Time For 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora, 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 Aurora jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Oldsmobile Aurora’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Aurora Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Aurora’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Aurora shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Aurora's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Aurora bouncing excessively? 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? The forward dip in the front end of your Aurora 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Oldsmobile Aurora are bad? Worn Aurora 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.
