Does Your 1994 Saab 9000 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1994 Saab 9000, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 9000 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Saab 9000 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Saab 9000 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 9000 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1994 Saab 9000’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. 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 1994 Saab 9000 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Saab 9000 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Saab 9000’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 9000 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Saab's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Saab 9000? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When should I have my Saab 9000 power steering fluid 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’ll top it off per Saab's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saab 9000 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 9000 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 9000 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 9000'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 9000 need replacing? If your 9000 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 9000 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
