When To Get 1987 Porsche 944 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1987 Porsche 944, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 944 feels bouncy, sways 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 1987 Porsche 944 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 944 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Porsche 944 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Porsche 944 suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Porsche up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1987 Porsche 944’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Porsche 944 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Porsche 944’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 944 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 944's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Porsche 944? 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 the tires connect with the road how Porsche intended.
  • Does my Porsche 944 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 944 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Porsche's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Porsche 944 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 944 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 944 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 944'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 Porsche 944 are bad? Worn 944 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 944 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 944 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
