Is It Time For 1988 Porsche 924 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1988 Porsche 924, 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 924 bounces, drifts 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 1988 Porsche 924 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 924 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 924 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 Porsche 924

Your 1988 Porsche 924’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 924’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Porsche 924 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Porsche 924’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1988 924 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Porsche's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my Porsche 924 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Porsche intended.
  • When does Porsche 924 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 924’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Porsche's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Porsche 924 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 924 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 924 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 924'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 do worn Porsche 924 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 924 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 924 travels over minor bumps.
