Is It Time For 1985 Chrysler Laser Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1985 Chrysler Laser, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Laser feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Chrysler Laser 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Chrysler Laser’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler Laser Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1985 Chrysler Laser’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Chrysler Laser shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chrysler Laser shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Laser’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.

1985 Laser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chrysler Laser? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • Does my Chrysler Laser 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 Laser is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler Laser bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Laser front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Laser 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 Laser shocks feel like? Worn Laser shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Laser might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Laser shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
