When To Get 1991 Alfa Romeo 164 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 164 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Alfa Romeo 164’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Alfa Romeo 164 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 Alfa Romeo up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Alfa Romeo 164 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Alfa Romeo 164’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.

1991 164 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Alfa Romeo's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Alfa Romeo 164 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Alfa Romeo intended.
  • Does my Alfa Romeo 164 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 164’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Alfa Romeo service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Alfa Romeo 164 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Alfa Romeo 164 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 164 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 164 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Alfa Romeo 164 need replacing? Worn 164 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
