Does Your 1986 Dodge Omni Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1986 Dodge Omni, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Omni jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1986 Dodge Omni, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Omni

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Dodge Omni suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Omni’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Omni shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Dodge Omni’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1986 Dodge Omni Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Omni? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Omni power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Omni’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Omni bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Omni 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Omni 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.
  • 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.
