Is It Time For 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1985 Chrysler LeBaron, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LeBaron jolts, sways 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 LeBaron 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler LeBaron Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Chrysler LeBaron’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 LeBaron’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chrysler LeBaron shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Chrysler 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 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 LeBaron 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chrysler LeBaron power steering fluid need to be 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’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler LeBaron bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LeBaron to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LeBaron tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LeBaron 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 LeBaron shocks feel like? If your LeBaron 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 LeBaron might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
