Does Your 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88, 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 Delta 88 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Delta 88 suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Oldsmobile Delta 88 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Delta 88 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s suspension. 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. 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. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Delta 88 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Delta 88 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Delta 88's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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 should my Oldsmobile Delta 88 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Oldsmobile Delta 88 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Oldsmobile Delta 88 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Delta 88 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Delta 88'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 do worn Oldsmobile Delta 88 shocks feel like? Worn Delta 88 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Delta 88 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Delta 88 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
