Plymouth Prowler
Plymouth Prowler Suspension Upgrade by Intrax
The Plymouth Prowler is truly unique. Lightweight, iconic in design and equipped with a front suspension using inboard coilovers with pushrods. It looks like race car engineering and certainly is special. Yet many owners report that the driving experience does not always inspire confidence on real roads.
Common suspension issues with the Prowler
- Harsh ride and nervous behavior on highways and rough pavement. The Prowler left the factory on run-flat tires with very stiff sidewalls. With no spare wheel, this setup increases rigidity and can feel uncomfortable at highway speeds.
- Tramlining or rut steer. The car tends to follow grooves in the road and sometimes feels like it steers itself. Correct ride height and a proper four-wheel alignment reduce this noticeably.
- Wear on front bushings and components. This causes nervous steering and extra play. Replacing worn bushings is a common fix reported by owners.
- Lower ball joint recall. The lower ball joints on some model years could wear prematurely and even detach due to loss of lubrication. Check with your VIN if the recall has been performed on your car.
