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 help you notice when you need new 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?

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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.

When should I have my Dodge Charger power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Dodge Charger bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Charger goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

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

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Charger 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.

What do worn Dodge Charger shocks feel like?

If your Charger 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 Charger might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2012 Dodge Charger Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2012 Dodge Charger, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Charger feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 Dodge Charger, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Charger suspension system needs repair, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Dodge Charger suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Charger’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Charger shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Dodge Charger suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
