When To Get 1985 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Chrysler New Yorker, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your New Yorker bounces, sways 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 1985 Chrysler New Yorker, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Chrysler New Yorker’s suspension. 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 getting your 1985 Chrysler New Yorker’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Chrysler New Yorker suspension 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 1985 Chrysler New Yorker Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my New Yorker's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Chrysler New Yorker 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • When does Chrysler New Yorker power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your New Yorker is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chrysler New Yorker bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chrysler New Yorker might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my New Yorker's nose dive down 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chrysler New Yorker shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your New Yorker feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your New Yorker travels over minor bumps.
