Is It Time For 1993 Saab 900 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 Saab 900, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 900 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Saab 900 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Saab 900 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Saab 900’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Saab 900 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 900’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1993 900 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 900's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Why should my Saab 900 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Saab intended.
  • When does Saab 900 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 900 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Saab service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Saab 900 bounce 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Saab 900 need replacing? Worn 900 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
