When To Get 1987 Dodge B250 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1987 Dodge B250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your B250 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Dodge B250, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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.

Dodge B250 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Dodge B250’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your B250’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge B250 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Dodge B250’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1987 Dodge B250 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my B250's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Dodge B250 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge B250 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your B250’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Dodge B250 bounce so much? 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? The forward dip in the front end of your B250 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 B250 need replacing? If your B250 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your B250 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
