Does Your 1989 Suzuki Swift Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1989 Suzuki Swift, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Swift jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 Suzuki Swift 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your Suzuki Swift suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Suzuki Swift Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Suzuki Swift suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Swift’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Suzuki Swift shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Swift’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Swift Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Suzuki Swift? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Suzuki intended.
  • When should I have my Suzuki Swift power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Swift’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Suzuki's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Suzuki Swift bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Swift to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Swift tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Swift 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Suzuki Swift need replacing? Worn Swift shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Swift might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Swift shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
