Does Your 1993 Pontiac Sunbird Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Pontiac 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 Sunbird bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Pontiac Sunbird in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Pontiac Sunbird

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1993 Pontiac Sunbird suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 Pontiac Sunbird’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Pontiac Sunbird shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Pontiac Sunbird suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1993 Sunbird Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Pontiac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Sunbird? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Pontiac intended.
  • When does Pontiac 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Pontiac's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Pontiac Sunbird bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sunbird to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sunbird to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Pontiac Sunbird shocks? Worn Sunbird shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sunbird might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sunbird shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
