When To Get 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Fifth Avenue bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, bring it 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, shock dampeners, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Fifth Avenue steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 Chrysler Fifth Avenue

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chrysler up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 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.

1985 Fifth Avenue Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chrysler's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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.
  • Why does my Fifth Avenue tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Fifth Avenue 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 do worn Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks feel like? Worn Fifth Avenue shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
