Is It Time For 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Delta 88 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 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection 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, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Delta 88 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 Delta 88 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Delta 88 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Delta 88 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88’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.

1986 Delta 88 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Delta 88's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Delta 88? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • When should I have my Oldsmobile Delta 88 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Delta 88’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Oldsmobile Delta 88 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Delta 88 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 Delta 88 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Delta 88 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 Delta 88 need replacing? Worn Delta 88 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.
