Does Your 2000 Dodge Avenger Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2000 Dodge Avenger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Avenger feels bouncy, drifts 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 2000 Dodge Avenger, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Avenger suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Avenger 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.

Dodge Avenger Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Dodge Avenger suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2000 Dodge Avenger shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Avenger shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Dodge Avenger’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.

2000 Avenger Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Avenger's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Avenger? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 Avenger power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Avenger is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Avenger 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 Avenger to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Avenger to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Avenger'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Avenger are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Avenger feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Avenger travels over minor bumps.
