When To Get 1998 Plymouth Neon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1998 Plymouth Neon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Neon jolts, leans 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 1998 Plymouth Neon in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Neon suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Plymouth Neon suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Neon Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Plymouth Neon suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Plymouth Neon’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Plymouth Neon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Plymouth Neon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1998 Neon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Neon's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? 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 come into contact with the road in the way 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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 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.
