When To Get 1999 Chrysler Cirrus Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1999 Chrysler Cirrus, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Cirrus feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Chrysler Cirrus in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chrysler Cirrus’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler Cirrus Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Chrysler Cirrus suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Cirrus’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chrysler Cirrus shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Chrysler Cirrus 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.

1999 Cirrus Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chrysler Cirrus get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chrysler Cirrus power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cirrus’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chrysler Cirrus to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Cirrus to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cirrus tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Chrysler Cirrus shocks feel like? 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.
