Is It Time For 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Cutlass Salon jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Cutlass Salon suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1987 Cutlass Salon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cutlass Salon's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Cutlass Salon goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Cutlass Salon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Cutlass Salon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon shocks? Worn Cutlass Salon 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.
