When To Get 1987 Suzuki Samurai Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 Suzuki Samurai, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Samurai bounces, leans 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 1987 Suzuki Samurai in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Samurai 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 Suzuki Samurai’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Suzuki Samurai Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1987 Suzuki Samurai’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1987 Suzuki Samurai shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Suzuki Samurai shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Suzuki Samurai suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1987 Suzuki Samurai Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Suzuki's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Suzuki Samurai? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Suzuki Samurai power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Samurai is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Suzuki service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Suzuki Samurai bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Suzuki Samurai might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Samurai tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Samurai 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 do I know if I have worn Suzuki Samurai shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Samurai feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Samurai travels over minor bumps.
