Does Your 1994 Alfa Romeo 164 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1994 Alfa Romeo 164, 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 164 bounces, drifts 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 Alfa Romeo 164 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Alfa Romeo 164

Your 1994 Alfa Romeo 164’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 Alfa Romeo up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1994 Alfa Romeo 164 shock and strut replacement 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 Alfa Romeo 164 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 164’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1994 Alfa Romeo 164 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Alfa Romeo's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Alfa Romeo 164? 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 does Alfa Romeo 164 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 164 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Alfa Romeo's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Alfa Romeo 164 bounce 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 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 shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 164 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 164 travels over minor bumps.
