Is It Time For 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Gran Fury bounces, sways 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 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury, 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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Gran Fury 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.

Plymouth Gran Fury Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Plymouth up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Plymouth Gran Fury shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Plymouth Gran Fury’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1986 Gran Fury Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Plymouth's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Plymouth Gran Fury to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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.
  • What do worn Plymouth Gran Fury shocks feel like? Worn Gran Fury 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.
