Is It Time For 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Aurora feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora in for suspension and steering service. 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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Aurora suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Aurora shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 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 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Aurora bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Aurora to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Aurora's nose dive down 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.
  • 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.
