Is It Time For 1997 Chrysler Town & Country Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1997 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, pulls 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 1997 Chrysler Town & Country in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chrysler Town & Country

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Town & Country’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 Town & Country shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Town & Country’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Town & Country Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chrysler's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 Town & Country? 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 should I have my Chrysler Town & Country power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Town & Country’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chrysler service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chrysler Town & Country bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Town & Country to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Town & Country's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Town & Country's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chrysler Town & Country need replacing? Worn Town & Country shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
