Is It Time For 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Spider jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider in for suspension and steering service. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 parts of your Alfa Romeo Spider suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 Spider

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Spider’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Alfa Romeo Spider shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. 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 Spider? 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.
  • When does Alfa Romeo Spider power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Spider’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Alfa Romeo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Alfa Romeo Spider bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Alfa Romeo Spider 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 Spider front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Spider 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Alfa Romeo Spider are bad? Worn Spider 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.
