Is It Time For 1985 Dodge Omni Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1985 Dodge Omni, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Omni feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1985 Dodge Omni in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Dodge Omni suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Omni shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Dodge Omni’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1985 Dodge Omni Steering & Suspension

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Omni? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When does Dodge Omni power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Omni’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Omni bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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.
  • What do worn Dodge Omni shocks feel like? 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.
