Does Your 1985 Pontiac Parisienne Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1985 Pontiac Parisienne, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Parisienne feels bouncy, 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 1985 Pontiac Parisienne, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Parisienne 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 your Parisienne steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Pontiac Parisienne

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Pontiac Parisienne’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1985 Pontiac Parisienne shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Pontiac Parisienne shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Pontiac Parisienne suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1985 Parisienne Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Parisienne's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Pontiac Parisienne? 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 the tires connect with the road how Pontiac intended.
  • When does Pontiac Parisienne 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 Parisienne’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Pontiac service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Pontiac Parisienne bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Pontiac Parisienne 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 Parisienne's nose dive down 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 Pontiac Parisienne shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Parisienne feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Parisienne travels over minor bumps.
