Is It Time For 1996 Chrysler New Yorker Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1996 Chrysler New Yorker, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your New Yorker bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1996 Chrysler New Yorker, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 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

Your 1996 Chrysler New Yorker’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1996 Chrysler New Yorker shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chrysler New Yorker shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Chrysler New Yorker’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1996 New Yorker Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your New Yorker’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chrysler New Yorker to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
