Is It Time For 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Cutlass Supreme feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 your Cutlass Supreme steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Cutlass Supreme Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Oldsmobile's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Oldsmobile intended.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cutlass Supreme’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Cutlass Supreme 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 Supreme front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Cutlass Supreme's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cutlass Supreme feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cutlass Supreme travels over minor bumps.
