Does Your 1987 Dodge D350 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1987 Dodge D350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your D350 feels bouncy, pulls 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 1987 Dodge D350 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your D350 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your D350 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge D350 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Dodge D350’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 D350’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge D350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Dodge D350 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1987 Dodge D350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge D350? 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 D350 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your D350 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge D350 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge D350 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 D350's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your D350'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 do I know if I have worn Dodge D350 shocks? If your D350 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 D350 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
