When To Get 1986 Plymouth Conquest Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1986 Plymouth Conquest, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Conquest jolts, drifts 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 1986 Plymouth Conquest in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Conquest steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Conquest Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1986 Plymouth Conquest’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1986 Plymouth Conquest’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Plymouth Conquest shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1986 Plymouth Conquest suspension 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.

1986 Conquest Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Plymouth's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Plymouth Conquest? 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 Conquest power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Plymouth Conquest bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Conquest to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Conquest to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Conquest 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Plymouth Conquest need replacing? Worn Conquest shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Conquest might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Conquest shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
