Does Your 1987 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Chrysler New Yorker, 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 New Yorker bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Chrysler New Yorker in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chrysler New Yorker’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 New Yorker Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 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 limit vibration and keep your Chrysler up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Chrysler New Yorker shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Chrysler New Yorker’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1987 New Yorker Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler New Yorker? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Chrysler New Yorker power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your New Yorker is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chrysler New Yorker bounce so much? 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? 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? If your New Yorker 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 New Yorker might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
