Is It Time For 1996 Chrysler Sebring Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1996 Chrysler Sebring, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Sebring feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1996 Chrysler Sebring in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chrysler Sebring’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 Sebring Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1996 Chrysler Sebring’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 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 Sebring’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chrysler Sebring shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Chrysler Sebring’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1996 Chrysler Sebring Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chrysler's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chrysler Sebring? 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 the tires connect with the road how Chrysler intended.
  • When should I have my Chrysler Sebring power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sebring’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chrysler's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Chrysler Sebring bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chrysler Sebring 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 Sebring front end dip forward when I brake? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chrysler Sebring are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sebring feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sebring travels over minor bumps.
