When To Get 1995 Saturn SL1 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1995 Saturn SL1, 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 SL1 jolts, 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 1995 Saturn SL1 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 your Saturn SL1’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Saturn SL1 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1995 Saturn SL1 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Saturn up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1995 Saturn SL1 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Saturn SL1 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1995 Saturn SL1’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1995 SL1 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Saturn'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 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 Saturn SL1 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Saturn intended.
  • Does my Saturn SL1 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SL1 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Saturn SL1 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SL1 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 SL1 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your SL1 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.
  • What do worn Saturn SL1 shocks feel like? Worn SL1 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SL1 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SL1 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
