Does Your 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. 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 1990 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Oldsmobile Delta 88’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Oldsmobile Delta 88 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 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 limit vibration and keep your Oldsmobile up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. 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 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 Delta 88 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Oldsmobile's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Delta 88 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Oldsmobile Delta 88 are bad? 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.
