When To Get 1990 Dodge Colt Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 Dodge Colt, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Colt jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1990 Dodge Colt, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Colt 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 parts of your Dodge Colt suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Colt Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1990 Dodge Colt’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. 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 getting your 1990 Dodge Colt’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Dodge Colt shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Dodge Colt’s 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.

1990 Colt Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Colt? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge Colt power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Colt is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Colt bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Colt to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Colt 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 Dodge Colt need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Colt feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Colt travels over minor bumps.
