Does Your 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Delta 88 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Oldsmobile Delta 88’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 Delta 88 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Delta 88’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Delta 88 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1983 Delta 88 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Delta 88? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Oldsmobile Delta 88 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Delta 88 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Delta 88 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 Delta 88's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Oldsmobile Delta 88 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Delta 88 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Delta 88 travels over minor bumps.
