When To Get 1988 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1988 Chrysler New Yorker, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! 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 problems is a good time to bring your 1988 Chrysler New Yorker in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chrysler New Yorker’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chrysler New Yorker

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1988 Chrysler New Yorker suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1988 Chrysler New Yorker shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 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.

1988 New Yorker Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need new 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chrysler intended.
  • When should I have my Chrysler New Yorker power steering fluid checked? 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’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chrysler New Yorker bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your New Yorker to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my New Yorker 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Chrysler New Yorker need replacing? 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.
