Does Your 2010 Dodge Caliber Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2010 Dodge Caliber, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Caliber feels bouncy, pulls 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 2010 Dodge Caliber in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Caliber suspension system needs repair, 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 Caliber steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Caliber Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Dodge Caliber’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2010 Dodge Caliber’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Caliber shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Caliber’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2010 Caliber Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Caliber? 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.
  • Does my Dodge Caliber power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Caliber is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Dodge Caliber bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Caliber front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Caliber'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.
  • What do worn Dodge Caliber shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Caliber feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Caliber travels over minor bumps.
