Is It Time For 1998 Plymouth Voyager Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Plymouth Voyager, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Voyager feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Plymouth Voyager in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 your Voyager 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Plymouth Voyager

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Plymouth Voyager 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Plymouth Voyager shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Plymouth Voyager shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Plymouth Voyager suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1998 Voyager Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Plymouth's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 should my Plymouth Voyager get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Plymouth Voyager 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 Voyager is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Plymouth's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Plymouth Voyager bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Plymouth Voyager might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Voyager front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Voyager'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 Voyager need replacing? If your Voyager 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 Voyager might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
