Does Your 1983 Plymouth Colt Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1983 Plymouth Colt, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Colt jolts, leans 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 1983 Plymouth Colt, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Colt steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Colt Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1983 Plymouth Colt’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 Plymouth up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Plymouth Colt shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Colt shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Colt’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1983 Colt Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Colt's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Plymouth Colt? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When should I have my Plymouth Colt power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Colt’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Plymouth Colt bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Colt to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Colt front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Colt 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 Colt need replacing? Worn Colt 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.
