Does Your 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your J2000 Sunbird bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Pontiac J2000 Sunbird shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your J2000 Sunbird’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 J2000 Sunbird Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my J2000 Sunbird's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Pontiac intended.
  • Does my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your J2000 Sunbird’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your J2000 Sunbird goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my J2000 Sunbird to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your J2000 Sunbird 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 J2000 Sunbird shocks feel like? Worn J2000 Sunbird shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your J2000 Sunbird might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your J2000 Sunbird shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
