When To Get 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Cutlass Supreme jolts, 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 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, bring it 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1988 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 signs of worn Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cutlass Supreme’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cutlass Supreme's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cutlass Supreme to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Cutlass Supreme 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.
  • 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.
