Does Your 2009 Dodge Durango Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 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 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2009 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Durango suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Dodge Durango suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Durango shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Dodge Durango suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Dodge Durango Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Durango's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my Dodge Durango get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Durango power steering fluid 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’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Durango bouncing 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.
  • Why does my Durango's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Durango shocks? 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.
