When To Get 1987 Plymouth Sundance Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 Plymouth Sundance, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sundance jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Plymouth Sundance in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sundance 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 parts of your Plymouth Sundance 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 Sundance Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Plymouth Sundance’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sundance’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Plymouth Sundance shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Plymouth Sundance 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.

Questions About 1987 Plymouth Sundance Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sundance'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Plymouth Sundance? 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 Sundance power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sundance is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Plymouth Sundance to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sundance to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sundance to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sundance when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Plymouth Sundance are bad? Worn Sundance shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sundance might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sundance shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
