When To Get 1983 Dodge Mirada Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1983 Dodge Mirada, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Mirada feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1983 Dodge Mirada in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Mirada 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 Mirada suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Mirada Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Dodge Mirada suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1983 Dodge Mirada’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Dodge Mirada shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Mirada’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 Mirada Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Mirada's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Mirada? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Mirada power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Mirada is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Mirada 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 Mirada to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Mirada 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 do worn Dodge Mirada shocks feel like? If your Mirada 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 Mirada might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
