Does Your 1990 Dodge D250 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Dodge D250, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your D250 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 1990 Dodge D250 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Dodge D250 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge D250

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Dodge D250 suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your D250’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge D250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your D250’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1990 D250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my D250's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge D250? 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 D250 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge D250 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your D250 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 D250 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your D250'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.
  • What do worn Dodge D250 shocks feel like? Worn D250 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your D250 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your D250 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
