Is It Time For 1986 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1986 Chrysler New Yorker, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your New Yorker jolts, 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 1986 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your New Yorker steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Chrysler New Yorker’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chrysler up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your New Yorker’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 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 1986 Chrysler New Yorker Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's 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? 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 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chrysler New Yorker bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my New Yorker to dip forward when I apply 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Chrysler New Yorker need replacing? 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.
