Does Your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Fifth Avenue feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Fifth Avenue suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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

Your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’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. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Fifth Avenue's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chrysler Fifth Avenue power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chrysler Fifth Avenue bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Fifth Avenue to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Fifth Avenue tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chrysler Fifth Avenue shocks? 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.
