Does Your 1987 Plymouth Caravelle Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Plymouth Caravelle, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Caravelle feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Plymouth Caravelle in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Caravelle suspension system needs repair, 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 Plymouth Caravelle’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Plymouth Caravelle Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1987 Plymouth Caravelle’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Plymouth Caravelle shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Caravelle shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Caravelle’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1987 Plymouth Caravelle Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Caravelle's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Caravelle? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Plymouth Caravelle power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Caravelle is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Plymouth Caravelle bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Plymouth Caravelle 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 Caravelle front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Plymouth Caravelle shocks? Worn Caravelle shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Caravelle might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Caravelle shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
