Does Your 1994 Saturn SL2 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1994 Saturn SL2, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your SL2 bounces, leans 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 1994 Saturn SL2, 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Saturn SL2’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 SL2 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Saturn SL2’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 SL2 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Saturn SL2 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Saturn SL2’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1994 Saturn SL2 Steering & Suspension

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Saturn SL2 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. 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.
  • When does Saturn SL2 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Saturn's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Saturn SL2 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my SL2 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your SL2 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 Saturn SL2 are bad? Worn SL2 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SL2 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SL2 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
