When To Get 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Intrigue jolts, pulls 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 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Intrigue steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Intrigue Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Intrigue shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2002 Intrigue Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Oldsmobile's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Oldsmobile Intrigue? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Oldsmobile Intrigue power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Intrigue’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Intrigue bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Oldsmobile Intrigue 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Intrigue to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Intrigue 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 Intrigue need replacing? Worn Intrigue shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Intrigue might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Intrigue shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
