Is It Time For 2003 Dodge Durango Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2003 Dodge Durango, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Durango bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Dodge Durango in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Durango 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 Dodge Durango’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Durango Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Dodge Durango’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Durango’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 signs of worn Dodge Durango shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Durango’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2003 Durango Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Durango's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Durango? 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 Durango power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Durango’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Durango bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Durango 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 Durango to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Durango combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Durango need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Durango feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Durango travels over minor bumps.
