Is It Time For 1989 Plymouth Sundance Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1989 Plymouth Sundance, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sundance bounces, 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 1989 Plymouth Sundance, 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Plymouth Sundance

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Plymouth Sundance 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 limit vibration and keep your Plymouth up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Plymouth Sundance’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Plymouth Sundance shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Plymouth Sundance’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1989 Sundance Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Plymouth's 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Sundance? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Plymouth Sundance power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sundance’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Plymouth Sundance bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sundance 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 Sundance front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sundance'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Plymouth Sundance need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sundance feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sundance travels over minor bumps.
