Is It Time For 1994 Buick Skylark Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1994 Buick Skylark, 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 Skylark jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1994 Buick Skylark in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Skylark suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Buick Skylark 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Buick Skylark

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Buick Skylark’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1994 Buick Skylark shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Buick Skylark shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Buick Skylark’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1994 Buick Skylark Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Skylark's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Buick Skylark? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Buick Skylark power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Skylark is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Buick's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Buick Skylark to have a bouncy ride? 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 Skylark front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Skylark 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Buick Skylark shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Skylark feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Skylark travels over minor bumps.
