When To Get 1985 Chrysler Town & Country Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Chrysler Town & Country, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Town & Country feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Chrysler Town & Country in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Town & Country suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Town & Country 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 Town & Country Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1985 Chrysler Town & Country’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Town & Country’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chrysler Town & Country shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Chrysler Town & Country 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.

1985 Town & Country Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Town & Country's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chrysler Town & Country? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chrysler Town & Country 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chrysler's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chrysler Town & Country bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Town & Country 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Town & Country to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Town & Country combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chrysler Town & Country need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Town & Country feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Town & Country travels over minor bumps.
