Does Your 1994 Dodge Dakota Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1994 Dodge Dakota, 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 Dakota jolts, drifts 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 1994 Dodge Dakota in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Dakota’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 Dakota Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Dodge Dakota’s suspension. 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 Dakota’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Dodge Dakota shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Dodge Dakota suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1994 Dodge Dakota Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Dakota's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Dakota? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 does Dodge Dakota 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 Dakota’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Dakota bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Dakota to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Dakota's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Dakota when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Dakota need replacing? Worn Dakota shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Dakota might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Dakota shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
