Is It Time For 1997 Plymouth Neon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1997 Plymouth Neon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Neon jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1997 Plymouth Neon in for steering and suspension services. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Neon suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Plymouth Neon suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Plymouth Neon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1997 Plymouth Neon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1997 Plymouth Neon shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Neon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Plymouth Neon suspension 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 1997 Plymouth Neon Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 Neon? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Plymouth intended.
  • When should I have my Plymouth Neon power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Neon is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Plymouth Neon bouncing so much? 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 Neon front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Neon'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 do worn Plymouth Neon shocks feel like? Worn Neon shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Neon might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Neon shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
