When To Get 1989 Toyota Celica Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1989 Toyota Celica, 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 Celica jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1989 Toyota Celica in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Toyota Celica suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Celica Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Toyota Celica suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Celica’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Toyota Celica shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 Toyota Celica suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1989 Celica Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Celica's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Toyota Celica? 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.
  • When does Toyota Celica 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 Celica is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Toyota's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Toyota Celica bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Celica to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Celica to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Celica 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Toyota Celica need replacing? If your Celica 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 Celica might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
