Does Your 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Bravada jolts, sways 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 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Bravada Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Bravada shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1999 Bravada Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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? Excessive bouncing in your Oldsmobile Bravada 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 Bravada front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Bravada need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Bravada feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Bravada travels over minor bumps.
