Does Your 1992 Plymouth Acclaim Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1992 Plymouth Acclaim, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Acclaim bounces, pulls 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 1992 Plymouth Acclaim, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your Plymouth Acclaim 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.

Plymouth Acclaim Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Plymouth Acclaim’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Plymouth Acclaim shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Plymouth Acclaim’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 Acclaim Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Plymouth's 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Plymouth Acclaim get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Plymouth intended.
  • Does my Plymouth Acclaim power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Acclaim’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Plymouth Acclaim bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Acclaim's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Acclaim'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 do worn Plymouth Acclaim shocks feel like? If your Acclaim 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 Acclaim might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
