When To Get 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Cutlass Supreme jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Cutlass Supreme 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Cutlass Supreme’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s 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.

1990 Cutlass Supreme Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When does Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Cutlass Supreme is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cutlass Supreme to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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 Supreme are bad? Worn Cutlass Supreme shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Cutlass Supreme might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Cutlass Supreme shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
