When To Get 1983 Dodge D150 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1983 Dodge D150, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your D150 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Dodge D150 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system 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 components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your D150 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your D150 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 D150 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Dodge D150’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Dodge D150 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Dodge D150 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Dodge D150 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 1983 Dodge D150 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my D150'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge D150? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • Does my Dodge D150 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Dodge D150 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your D150 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my D150 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your D150'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge D150 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your D150 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your D150 travels over minor bumps.
