Is It Time For 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Cutlass Cruiser feels bouncy, leans 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 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cutlass Cruiser suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1989 Cutlass Cruiser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cutlass Cruiser's steering and 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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's nose dive down 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser are bad? 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.
