When To Get 1991 Pontiac LeMans Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1991 Pontiac LeMans, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your LeMans 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 1991 Pontiac LeMans in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 LeMans steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Pontiac LeMans

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Pontiac LeMans suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1991 Pontiac LeMans shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Pontiac LeMans shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Pontiac LeMans suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 LeMans Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LeMans'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 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 LeMans? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Pontiac LeMans 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 LeMans is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Pontiac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Pontiac LeMans to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac LeMans might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my LeMans's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LeMans'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 LeMans are bad? If your LeMans 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 LeMans might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
