Is It Time For 1987 Saab 9000 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Saab 9000, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 9000 jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Saab 9000, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 9000 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 9000 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.

Saab 9000 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Saab 9000 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1987 Saab 9000’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Saab 9000 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Saab 9000 suspension 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.

1987 9000 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 9000's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Saab 9000 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • Does my Saab 9000 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 9000’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Saab's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Saab 9000 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 9000 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 9000 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 9000 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Saab 9000 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 9000 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 9000 travels over minor bumps.
