Is It Time For 1983 Plymouth Reliant Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Plymouth Reliant, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Reliant bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1983 Plymouth Reliant in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Plymouth Reliant suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Reliant Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1983 Plymouth Reliant suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Plymouth Reliant shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Plymouth Reliant shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Plymouth Reliant’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1983 Plymouth Reliant Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Reliant's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Reliant? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Plymouth intended.
  • When does Plymouth Reliant power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Reliant’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Plymouth Reliant bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Reliant to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Reliant to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Reliant 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 Reliant shocks feel like? If your Reliant 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 Reliant might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
