When To Get 1984 Chrysler Laser Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Chrysler Laser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Laser jolts, leans 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 1984 Chrysler Laser in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chrysler Laser’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chrysler Laser

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Chrysler Laser’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Laser’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Chrysler Laser shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Chrysler Laser suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1984 Laser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chrysler's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Laser get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires connect with the road how Chrysler intended.
  • Does my Chrysler Laser power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chrysler Laser bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chrysler Laser 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 Laser's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Laser'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 do I know if I have worn Chrysler Laser shocks? If your Laser 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 Laser might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
