When To Get 1985 Dodge B250 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1985 Dodge B250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your B250 jolts, pulls 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 Dodge B250, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel 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 B250 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge B250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Dodge B250 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Dodge B250 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge B250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your B250’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1985 B250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my B250's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Dodge B250 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge B250 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. 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 excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your B250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my B250's nose dive down when I hit 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge B250 are bad? 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.
