When To Get 1991 Dodge Spirit Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1991 Dodge Spirit, 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 Spirit bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Dodge Spirit in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Dodge Spirit’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Spirit Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Dodge Spirit’s suspension. 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 Spirit’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Spirit shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Dodge Spirit suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Spirit Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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 Spirit? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Dodge Spirit power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Spirit’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Spirit bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Spirit goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Spirit tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Spirit'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 Spirit are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Spirit feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Spirit travels over minor bumps.
