Does Your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Bravada feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Oldsmobile Bravada’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Bravada Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Bravada shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Bravada Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Bravada's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Oldsmobile Bravada get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Oldsmobile intended.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Bravada power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Bravada’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Bravada bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Bravada 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 Bravada tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Bravada 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Oldsmobile Bravada shocks? Worn Bravada shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Bravada might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Bravada shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
