When To Get 1986 Dodge Daytona Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1986 Dodge Daytona, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Daytona feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1986 Dodge Daytona, 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Daytona suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1986 Dodge Daytona’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1986 Dodge Daytona shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Daytona shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 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.

1986 Daytona Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Daytona? 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 the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Daytona power steering fluid 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? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Daytona to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Daytona to dip forward when I apply 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 Daytona need replacing? 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.
