When To Get 1994 Saturn SL Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Saturn SL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SL bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Saturn SL in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your SL suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your SL 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.

Saturn SL Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Saturn SL suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1994 Saturn SL shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Saturn SL shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SL’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.

1994 SL Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SL's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Saturn SL? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Saturn intended.
  • Does my Saturn SL power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your SL is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Saturn service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Saturn SL bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SL 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my SL to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SL combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Saturn SL shocks feel like? If your SL 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 SL might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
