When To Get 1991 Porsche 911 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1991 Porsche 911, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 911 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Porsche 911 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Porsche 911’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Porsche 911 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1991 Porsche 911’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 1991 Porsche 911’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Porsche 911 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Porsche 911 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 911 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Porsche's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Porsche 911? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Porsche 911 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 911’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Porsche service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Porsche 911 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 911 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 911's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 911'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Porsche 911 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 911 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 911 travels over minor bumps.
