When To Get 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1995 Alfa Romeo 164, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 164 bounces, leans 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 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 164 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 Alfa Romeo 164

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1995 Alfa Romeo 164’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 Alfa Romeo 164 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 suspension 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 1995 Alfa Romeo 164 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Alfa Romeo 164? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Alfa Romeo 164 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few 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.
  • What can cause my Alfa Romeo 164 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 164's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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 do worn Alfa Romeo 164 shocks feel like? Worn 164 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 164 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 164 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
