When To Get 1983 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1983 Chrysler New Yorker, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your New Yorker bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Chrysler New Yorker in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Chrysler New Yorker suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler New Yorker Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Chrysler New Yorker’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your New Yorker’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Chrysler New Yorker’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1983 Chrysler New Yorker Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my New Yorker's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 New Yorker? 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 New Yorker 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 New Yorker is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chrysler New Yorker bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your New Yorker 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.
  • Why does my New Yorker's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your New Yorker'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 New Yorker shocks? Worn New Yorker shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your New Yorker might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your New Yorker shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
