When To Get 1989 Plymouth Horizon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1989 Plymouth Horizon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Horizon feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Plymouth Horizon, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Plymouth Horizon’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.

Plymouth Horizon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Plymouth Horizon’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1989 Plymouth Horizon shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Plymouth Horizon shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Horizon’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.

Questions About 1989 Plymouth Horizon Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Horizon's steering and 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 should my Plymouth Horizon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Plymouth intended.
  • When does Plymouth Horizon power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Horizon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Plymouth Horizon bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Horizon 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 Horizon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Horizon's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Plymouth Horizon need replacing? If your Horizon 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 Horizon might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
