When To Get 2017 Dodge Charger Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Dodge Charger, 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 Charger bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Dodge Charger in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2017 Dodge Charger’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 could all be signs of worn Dodge Charger shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Charger’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2017 Dodge Charger Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Charger's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Why should my Dodge Charger get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Charger bouncing excessively? 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? 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 do worn Dodge Charger shocks feel like? Worn Charger shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Charger might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Charger shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
