When To Get 1983 Dodge B250 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1983 Dodge B250, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your B250 feels bouncy, drifts 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 1983 Dodge B250 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your B250 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 Dodge B250

Your 1983 Dodge B250’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your B250’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge B250 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Dodge B250 suspension 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.

1983 B250 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my B250'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 Dodge B250? 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 B250 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 B250 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge B250 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your B250 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my B250 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your B250 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge B250 shocks? Worn B250 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your B250 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your B250 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
