When To Get 1991 Suzuki Sidekick Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1991 Suzuki Sidekick, 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 Sidekick bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Suzuki Sidekick, bring it 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Suzuki Sidekick’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.

Suzuki Sidekick Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Suzuki Sidekick’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1991 Suzuki Sidekick shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Suzuki Sidekick shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Suzuki Sidekick suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1991 Sidekick Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sidekick's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Suzuki Sidekick? 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 Suzuki intended.
  • When should I have my Suzuki Sidekick power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sidekick is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Suzuki's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Suzuki Sidekick bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sidekick to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sidekick to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sidekick 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Suzuki Sidekick are bad? If your Sidekick 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 Sidekick might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
