Does Your 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 Chrysler LeBaron, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LeBaron jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Chrysler LeBaron, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chrysler LeBaron’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.

Chrysler LeBaron Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 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. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Chrysler LeBaron shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they 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 1987 Chrysler LeBaron’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LeBaron's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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.
  • 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 LeBaron is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chrysler LeBaron to have a bouncy ride? 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 LeBaron 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.
  • What do worn Chrysler LeBaron shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LeBaron feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LeBaron travels over minor bumps.
