When To Get 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your J2000 Sunbird bounces, pulls 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 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your J2000 Sunbird suspension system needs repair, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Pontiac up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Pontiac J2000 Sunbird shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1985 J2000 Sunbird Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my J2000 Sunbird'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 J2000 Sunbird? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Pontiac J2000 Sunbird 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 J2000 Sunbird is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird bounce so much? 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.
  • Why does my J2000 Sunbird's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What do worn Pontiac J2000 Sunbird shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your J2000 Sunbird feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your J2000 Sunbird travels over minor bumps.
