When To Get 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Grand Caravan bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Grand Caravan steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Grand Caravan Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Grand Caravan’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Caravan’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Grand Caravan's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Grand Caravan? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 does Dodge Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Grand Caravan bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Grand Caravan to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Grand Caravan to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Grand Caravan feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Grand Caravan travels over minor bumps.
