Is It Time For 1984 Saab 900 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1984 Saab 900, 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 900 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Saab 900, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Saab 900 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Saab 900 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Saab 900’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 900’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Saab 900 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Saab 900’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Saab 900 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saab'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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Saab 900? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Saab intended.
  • Does my Saab 900 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 900 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Saab's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Saab 900 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 900 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.
  • Why does my 900's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 900'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 Saab 900 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 900 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 900 travels over minor bumps.
