Does Your 1983 Peugeot 504 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1983 Peugeot 504, 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 504 jolts, 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 Peugeot 504 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 504 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.

Peugeot 504 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1983 Peugeot 504’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 Peugeot up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Peugeot 504 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Peugeot 504 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 504’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 504 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Peugeot's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Peugeot 504 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 come into contact with the road in the way Peugeot intended.
  • When does Peugeot 504 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Peugeot's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Peugeot 504 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 504 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 504's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 504'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Peugeot 504 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 504 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 504 travels over minor bumps.
