When To Get 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Toronado jolts, leans 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 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Oldsmobile Toronado suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Oldsmobile Toronado Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Oldsmobile Toronado shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Oldsmobile Toronado’s 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.

1987 Toronado Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Toronado's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Oldsmobile Toronado 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. 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.
  • When does Oldsmobile Toronado 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 Toronado’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Oldsmobile's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Oldsmobile Toronado bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Toronado to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Toronado tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Toronado'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Oldsmobile Toronado are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Toronado feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Toronado travels over minor bumps.
