When To Get 1992 Toyota Tercel Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1992 Toyota Tercel, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Tercel feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1992 Toyota Tercel 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Tercel steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Toyota Tercel

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1992 Toyota Tercel 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Toyota up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Toyota Tercel’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Toyota Tercel shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Toyota Tercel’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Tercel Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Toyota Tercel get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Toyota intended.
  • Does my Toyota Tercel power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Tercel is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Toyota's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Toyota Tercel to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Tercel 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 Tercel's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Tercel's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Toyota Tercel are bad? Worn Tercel shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Tercel might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Tercel shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
