Is It Time For 1996 Plymouth Neon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1996 Plymouth Neon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Neon bounces, 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 1996 Plymouth Neon, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Neon suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Neon 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.

Plymouth Neon Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Plymouth Neon 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1996 Plymouth Neon shock and strut replacement 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 Neon shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Neon’s 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.

1996 Neon 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 Neon? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Plymouth Neon power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Neon’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 Neon to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Neon to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Neon front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Neon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Plymouth Neon shocks? If your Neon 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 Neon might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
