Does Your 1989 Plymouth Colt Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1989 Plymouth Colt, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Colt bounces, 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 1989 Plymouth Colt 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Plymouth Colt’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Plymouth Colt

Your 1989 Plymouth Colt’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. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Plymouth Colt’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs 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. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Colt Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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. 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? 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 is my Plymouth Colt bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Colt to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Colt combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Plymouth Colt shocks feel like? 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.
