Is It Time For 1997 Chrysler Cirrus Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1997 Chrysler Cirrus, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cirrus bounces, drifts 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 1997 Chrysler Cirrus in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 Chrysler Cirrus’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler Cirrus Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1997 Chrysler Cirrus’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 Chrysler up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1997 Chrysler Cirrus shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chrysler Cirrus shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Chrysler Cirrus’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.

1997 Cirrus Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cirrus's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Chrysler Cirrus? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • When does Chrysler Cirrus 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 Cirrus is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chrysler Cirrus to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Chrysler Cirrus 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cirrus to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Cirrus 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 Chrysler Cirrus are bad? If your Cirrus shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Cirrus might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
