When To Get 1988 Toyota Camry Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1988 Toyota Camry, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Camry bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1988 Toyota Camry in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Camry 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 Toyota Camry’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.

Toyota Camry Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1988 Toyota Camry’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 1988 Toyota Camry shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Toyota Camry shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Toyota Camry’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.

1988 Camry Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Toyota Camry get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Toyota intended.
  • Does my Toyota Camry power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Camry is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Toyota Camry to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Camry 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 Camry tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Camry 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 Toyota Camry are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Camry feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Camry travels over minor bumps.
