Does Your 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1983 Chrysler LeBaron, 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 LeBaron feels bouncy, sways 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 1983 Chrysler LeBaron, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your LeBaron suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chrysler LeBaron suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler LeBaron Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Chrysler LeBaron suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1983 Chrysler LeBaron’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chrysler LeBaron shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LeBaron’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chrysler LeBaron? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Chrysler LeBaron power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your LeBaron is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chrysler LeBaron bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LeBaron 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my LeBaron to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LeBaron'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 LeBaron shocks? Worn LeBaron shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LeBaron might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LeBaron shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
