Does Your 1991 Peugeot 405 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1991 Peugeot 405, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 405 jolts, sways 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 1991 Peugeot 405 in for steering and suspension services. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 405 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Peugeot 405 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Peugeot 405 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Peugeot 405’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Peugeot 405 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Peugeot 405’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1991 405 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Peugeot's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Peugeot 405? 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 Peugeot intended.
  • Does my Peugeot 405 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 405’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Peugeot's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Peugeot 405 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 405 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 405 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 405 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Peugeot 405 need replacing? If your 405 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 405 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
