When To Get 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Firenza 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 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Firenza 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 Oldsmobile Firenza’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Firenza Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Oldsmobile Firenza shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Firenza Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Firenza'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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Firenza? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Oldsmobile intended.
  • When does Oldsmobile Firenza 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 Firenza’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Oldsmobile service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Firenza bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Firenza 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 Firenza to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Firenza combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Oldsmobile Firenza need replacing? If your Firenza shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Firenza might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
