Is It Time For 1987 Dodge B350 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Dodge B350, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your B350 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Dodge B350 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 parts of your Dodge B350 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge B350 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Dodge B350 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1987 Dodge B350 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Dodge B350 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your B350’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1987 Dodge B350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Dodge B350 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Dodge B350 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 B350 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge B350 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your B350 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my B350 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your B350 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 B350 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your B350 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your B350 travels over minor bumps.
