When To Get 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Spider bounces, 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 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider in for steering and suspension services. 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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Spider suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Alfa Romeo Spider suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Alfa Romeo Spider

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Alfa Romeo Spider shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Spider Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Spider's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Spider? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Alfa Romeo intended.
  • When does Alfa Romeo Spider power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Spider is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Alfa Romeo service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Alfa Romeo Spider 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 Spider front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Spider combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Alfa Romeo Spider need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Spider feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Spider travels over minor bumps.
