Is It Time For 1983 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Fifth Avenue jolts, pulls 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 1983 Chrysler Fifth Avenue in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Fifth Avenue steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler Fifth Avenue Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1983 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Chrysler Fifth Avenue shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Fifth Avenue’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 Fifth Avenue 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Fifth Avenue? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 Fifth Avenue 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 Fifth Avenue is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chrysler Fifth Avenue bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Fifth Avenue goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Fifth Avenue to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Fifth Avenue'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chrysler Fifth Avenue are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Fifth Avenue feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Fifth Avenue travels over minor bumps.
