Is It Time For 1985 Dodge 600 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1985 Dodge 600, 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 600 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Dodge 600 in for steering and suspension services. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 600 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge 600 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Dodge 600’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1985 Dodge 600 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge 600 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 600’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1985 600 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 Dodge 600? 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 the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge 600 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 600’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge 600 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 600 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 600 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 600 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge 600 need replacing? Worn 600 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 600 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 600 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
