When To Get 1984 Dodge Diplomat Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1984 Dodge Diplomat, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Diplomat bounces, leans 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 1984 Dodge Diplomat in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Diplomat 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 Diplomat Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1984 Dodge Diplomat’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 1984 Dodge Diplomat shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Diplomat shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Dodge Diplomat suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1984 Dodge Diplomat Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Diplomat's steering and 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 Dodge Diplomat? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Diplomat 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 Diplomat’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Diplomat bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Diplomat to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Diplomat 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 Diplomat need replacing? If your Diplomat shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Diplomat might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
