When To Get 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Toronado feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Toronado 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Oldsmobile Toronado

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Toronado’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Oldsmobile Toronado shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Toronado’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 Toronado Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Oldsmobile Toronado? 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 connect with the road how Oldsmobile intended.
  • When does Oldsmobile Toronado 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 Toronado’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Oldsmobile's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Toronado bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Toronado front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Oldsmobile Toronado shocks? Worn Toronado shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Toronado might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Toronado shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
