When To Get 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1986 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 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Chrysler Fifth Avenue suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler Fifth Avenue Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s suspension. 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 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 Fifth Avenue’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s 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.

1986 Fifth Avenue Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Fifth Avenue? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Chrysler intended.
  • Does my Chrysler Fifth Avenue power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chrysler Fifth Avenue bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chrysler Fifth Avenue 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.
  • Why does my Fifth Avenue's nose dive down 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chrysler Fifth Avenue are bad? Worn Fifth Avenue shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Fifth Avenue might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Fifth Avenue shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
