Does Your 1990 Plymouth Horizon Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Plymouth Horizon, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Horizon bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Plymouth Horizon in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Horizon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Plymouth Horizon suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Plymouth Horizon’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Plymouth Horizon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Plymouth Horizon’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.

Questions About 1990 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Horizon? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Horizon’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Plymouth Horizon to have a bouncy ride? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Plymouth Horizon need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Horizon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Horizon travels over minor bumps.
