Does Your 1986 Plymouth Turismo Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1986 Plymouth Turismo, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Turismo feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1986 Plymouth Turismo, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Turismo steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Plymouth Turismo Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Plymouth Turismo suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1986 Plymouth Turismo’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Plymouth Turismo shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Turismo’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1986 Turismo Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Turismo'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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Plymouth Turismo? 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 connect with the road how Plymouth intended.
  • Does my Plymouth Turismo 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 Turismo’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Plymouth's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Plymouth Turismo bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Turismo 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 Turismo tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What do worn Plymouth Turismo shocks feel like? If your Turismo 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 Turismo might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
