When To Get 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Spider jolts, pulls 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 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Alfa Romeo Spider’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 Spider

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider’s suspension. 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 getting your 1994 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 rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Alfa Romeo Spider shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider’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.

1994 Spider Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Spider's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Alfa Romeo Spider 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 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Spider to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Spider's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Spider's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Alfa Romeo Spider need replacing? Worn Spider shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Spider might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Spider shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
