Does Your 1983 Dodge Omni Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1983 Dodge Omni, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Omni bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Dodge Omni in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Omni steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Omni Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Dodge Omni 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Omni’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Omni shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Dodge Omni’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 Omni Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Dodge Omni 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.
  • When should I have my Dodge Omni power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Omni 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 Omni to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Omni's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Omni'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Omni are bad? Worn Omni shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Omni might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Omni shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
