Is It Time For 1992 Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1992 Pontiac Grand Am, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Grand Am feels bouncy, pulls 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 1992 Pontiac Grand Am in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Pontiac Grand Am’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.

Pontiac Grand Am Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1992 Pontiac Grand Am suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1992 Pontiac Grand Am shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Pontiac Grand Am shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Pontiac Grand Am’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1992 Pontiac Grand Am Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Am's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Pontiac Grand Am? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Pontiac intended.
  • Does my Pontiac Grand Am power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Grand Am’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Pontiac Grand Am to have a bouncy ride? 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 Grand Am front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Grand Am when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Pontiac Grand Am shocks feel like? If your Grand Am 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 Grand Am might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
