Is It Time For 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Cutlass Calais bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cutlass Calais 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 Cutlass Calais Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Cutlass Calais is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 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 Cutlass Calais tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais shocks? Worn Cutlass Calais shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
