Does Your 1983 Plymouth PB150 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1983 Plymouth PB150, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your PB150 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1983 Plymouth PB150, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your PB150 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 your Plymouth PB150’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 PB150 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1983 Plymouth PB150’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 1983 Plymouth PB150’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Plymouth PB150 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Plymouth PB150 suspension 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.

1983 PB150 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my PB150's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my Plymouth PB150 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 PB150 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your PB150’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Plymouth PB150 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your PB150 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my PB150's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your PB150'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 do I know if I have worn Plymouth PB150 shocks? Worn PB150 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.
