Is It Time For 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Cutlass Ciera bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cutlass Ciera suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cutlass Ciera’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Cutlass Ciera Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cutlass Ciera's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Cutlass Ciera front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cutlass Ciera 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 do worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cutlass Ciera feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cutlass Ciera travels over minor bumps.
