Is It Time For 2001 Plymouth Neon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2001 Plymouth Neon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Neon feels bouncy, sways 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 2001 Plymouth Neon in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Neon Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Plymouth Neon’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. 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 rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Plymouth Neon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Plymouth 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.

2001 Neon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Neon? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Plymouth Neon power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Neon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Plymouth Neon bounce so much? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Plymouth Neon are bad? 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.
