Does Your 1984 Peugeot 604 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Peugeot 604, 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 604 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Peugeot 604, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 604 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Peugeot 604 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Peugeot 604 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Peugeot 604’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Peugeot 604 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Peugeot 604 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Peugeot 604 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 604 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Peugeot'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 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 604 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Peugeot 604 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Peugeot's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Peugeot 604 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 604 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 604's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 604 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 604 need replacing? Worn 604 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 604 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 604 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
