When To Get 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Cutlass Salon bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cutlass Salon suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon 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.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cutlass Salon’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1985 Cutlass Salon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon? 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.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon bouncing so much? 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 Salon 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cutlass Salon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cutlass Salon travels over minor bumps.
