When To Get 1984 Plymouth Colt Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1984 Plymouth Colt, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Colt feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1984 Plymouth Colt in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Colt suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Colt 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Plymouth Colt

Your 1984 Plymouth Colt’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Colt’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Plymouth Colt shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Plymouth Colt’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 Colt Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Colt's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Colt? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Plymouth Colt 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 Colt is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Plymouth Colt bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Plymouth Colt 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Colt to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • What do worn Plymouth Colt shocks feel like? If your Colt 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 Colt might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
