When To Get 1988 Toyota Cressida Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1988 Toyota Cressida, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Cressida feels bouncy, drifts 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 Cressida in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your Cressida steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Toyota Cressida Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1988 Toyota Cressida suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Toyota up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1988 Toyota Cressida’s shocks and struts replaced 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 signs of worn Toyota Cressida shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 Toyota Cressida suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1988 Cressida Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cressida's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Toyota Cressida? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Toyota intended.
  • When does Toyota Cressida 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Toyota's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Toyota Cressida bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Cressida's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Cressida 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 do worn Toyota Cressida shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cressida feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cressida travels over minor bumps.
