When To Get 1983 Plymouth PB250 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1983 Plymouth PB250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your PB250 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1983 Plymouth PB250, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 PB250’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth PB250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1983 Plymouth PB250’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 PB250’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 forward and backward can all point to issues with your Plymouth PB250 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Plymouth PB250 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 PB250 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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 PB250? 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 connect with the road how Plymouth intended.
  • When should I have my Plymouth PB250 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Plymouth PB250 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your PB250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my PB250 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your PB250'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 PB250 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your PB250 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your PB250 travels over minor bumps.
