Is It Time For 1991 Plymouth Acclaim Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1991 Plymouth Acclaim, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Acclaim feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Plymouth Acclaim, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 Acclaim 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.

Plymouth Acclaim Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Plymouth Acclaim’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 Plymouth up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Acclaim’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Acclaim shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Plymouth Acclaim suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Acclaim Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Plymouth's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Plymouth Acclaim? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Plymouth intended.
  • When should I have my Plymouth Acclaim power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Plymouth Acclaim bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Plymouth Acclaim might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Acclaim tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Acclaim 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 Plymouth Acclaim need replacing? Worn Acclaim shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
