Is It Time For 1999 Dodge Durango Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Dodge Durango, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Durango bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Dodge Durango, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Durango suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Dodge Durango suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Durango

Your 1999 Dodge Durango’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. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Dodge Durango shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Dodge Durango shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Dodge Durango suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1999 Durango Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Dodge Durango get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Durango power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Durango is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Durango bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Durango 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 Durango's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Durango'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Durango need replacing? Worn Durango shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Durango might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Durango shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
