Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Caravan's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Caravan?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Dodge Caravan 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 Caravan is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why does my Dodge Caravan 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 Caravan to bounce more than usual.

What can cause the front end of my Caravan to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Caravan 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 Caravan shocks?

Worn Caravan shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Caravan might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Caravan shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 1993 Dodge Caravan Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1993 Dodge Caravan, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Caravan bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Dodge Caravan 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper 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 Caravan suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Caravan’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Caravan Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1993 Dodge Caravan’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 Caravan’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge Caravan shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Dodge Caravan suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
