There are quite a few different configurations for suspension systems in today’s vehicles. Some vehicles will make use of just shocks, but most manufacturers use either struts alone or both struts and shocks, since struts are more stable and reliable than shocks when it comes to dampening spring oscillation. You will find your Chevy Lumina struts mounted inside your coil springs, where they serve to stop your springs from bouncing continually after you hit a bump or a pothole.
When your Lumina struts are worn or damaged, your ride comfort and handling will be affected. Some of the signs of bad Chevy Lumina struts include excessive bouncing, bottoming out on bumps, rolling or swaying during turns, and front end diving or rear end squatting during braking or acceleration.
If you are experiencing any of these problems, you should inspect your struts right away for damage. Look for dents or leaks on the housing or strut body, pitted piston rods, worn rubber mountings, or crushed bumpers, and check your tire tread for uneven wear. If you drive with damaged Chevy Lumina struts, you can accelerate wear on other suspension parts such as your CV joints, steering linkage, ball joints, and springs.
