When To Get 1986 Pontiac 6000 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1986 Pontiac 6000, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 6000 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1986 Pontiac 6000 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 6000 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac 6000 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1986 Pontiac 6000’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 6000’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Pontiac 6000 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1986 Pontiac 6000 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1986 6000 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 6000's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Pontiac 6000 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Pontiac intended.
  • When does Pontiac 6000 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 6000 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Pontiac 6000 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 6000 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 6000'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 Pontiac 6000 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 6000 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 6000 travels over minor bumps.
