Does Your 1985 Dodge Daytona Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1985 Dodge Daytona, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Daytona bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1985 Dodge Daytona 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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, 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 Daytona 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.

Dodge Daytona Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Dodge Daytona suspension system. 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 Dodge up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Dodge Daytona shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Daytona shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Dodge Daytona’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Dodge Daytona Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
  • Why should my Dodge Daytona get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Daytona power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Daytona is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Dodge Daytona bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Daytona 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Daytona to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Daytona'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Daytona shocks? Worn Daytona shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Daytona might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Daytona shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
