Does Your 1983 Plymouth PB350 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Plymouth PB350, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your PB350 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Plymouth PB350 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 PB350 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 PB350 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Plymouth PB350 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Plymouth PB350 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Plymouth PB350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Plymouth PB350 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 PB350 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my PB350'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 PB350? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Plymouth intended.
  • When should I have my Plymouth PB350 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your PB350’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Plymouth PB350 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your PB350 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my PB350's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your PB350'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 PB350 are bad? Worn PB350 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.
