Is It Time For 1987 Dodge Daytona Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Dodge Daytona, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Daytona bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Dodge Daytona, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Daytona 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 Dodge Daytona’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Daytona Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Dodge Daytona’s suspension. 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 1987 Dodge Daytona shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Daytona shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Dodge Daytona suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1987 Daytona Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 Dodge Daytona? 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.
  • Does my Dodge Daytona 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 Daytona 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 Daytona bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my Daytona's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • 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.
