When To Get 2006 Dodge Charger Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2006 Dodge Charger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Charger feels bouncy, sways 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 2006 Dodge Charger 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Charger’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Charger Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Dodge Charger’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Charger’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Charger shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Dodge Charger suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2006 Dodge Charger 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Charger? 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 the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Charger 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 Charger’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Dodge Charger to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Charger might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Charger tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Charger need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Charger feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Charger travels over minor bumps.
