Is It Time For 1991 Peugeot 505 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1991 Peugeot 505, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 505 bounces, leans 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 1991 Peugeot 505 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your 505 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 505 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Peugeot 505’s suspension. 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 getting your 1991 Peugeot 505’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Peugeot 505 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 505’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 505 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 505's steering and 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. 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Peugeot 505? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Peugeot 505 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 505 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Peugeot service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Peugeot 505 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 505 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 505 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 505 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Peugeot 505 shocks? If your 505 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 505 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
