Does Your 1999 Plymouth Neon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1999 Plymouth Neon, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Neon jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Plymouth Neon in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle 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 Neon’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 Neon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Plymouth Neon’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Neon’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Neon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Plymouth Neon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Neon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Neon's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Neon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Plymouth intended.
  • Does my Plymouth Neon power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Neon’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Plymouth Neon bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Plymouth Neon might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Neon front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Neon combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Plymouth Neon shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Neon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Neon travels over minor bumps.
