Does Your 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Bravada bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Oldsmobile Bravada’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Oldsmobile Bravada Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1992 Oldsmobile Bravada’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Bravada shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Bravada’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Bravada Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Oldsmobile's 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 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 Bravada? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Bravada 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 does my Oldsmobile Bravada bounce so much? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Bravada need replacing? 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.
