Does Your 1984 Plymouth Reliant Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1984 Plymouth Reliant, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Reliant feels bouncy, drifts 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 1984 Plymouth Reliant, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Reliant suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Reliant steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Reliant Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Plymouth Reliant suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1984 Plymouth Reliant’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Plymouth Reliant shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 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 1984 Plymouth Reliant Steering & Suspension

  • 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 alert you to the need for new 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Reliant? 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 the tires connect with the road how Plymouth intended.
  • When should I have my Plymouth Reliant power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Reliant is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Plymouth service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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.
  • Why does my Reliant front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Plymouth Reliant shocks? Worn Reliant 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.
