Is It Time For 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Aurora feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Oldsmobile Aurora suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Aurora Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Aurora shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • When does Oldsmobile Aurora power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Aurora to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Aurora 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Aurora to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Aurora'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Aurora need replacing? Worn Aurora shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Aurora might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Aurora shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
