Does Your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Gran Fury feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury, bring it 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Gran Fury 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Plymouth Gran Fury

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Gran Fury’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Plymouth Gran Fury shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1985 Gran Fury Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Gran Fury'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Plymouth Gran Fury? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Plymouth intended.
  • Does my Plymouth Gran Fury power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Gran Fury is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Plymouth Gran Fury to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Gran Fury goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Gran Fury tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Plymouth Gran Fury shocks? Worn Gran Fury shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Gran Fury might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Gran Fury shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
