Does Your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Cutlass Cruiser feels bouncy, drifts 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 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cutlass Cruiser's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Cruiser? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Oldsmobile intended.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cutlass Cruiser is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser bouncing excessively? 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 Cruiser tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cutlass Cruiser 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 Cutlass Cruiser shocks? If your Cutlass Cruiser shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Cutlass Cruiser might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
