When To Get 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Grand Caravan feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Grand Caravan suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Grand Caravan’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan’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 limit vibration and keep your Dodge up 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 from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 Grand Caravan Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Grand Caravan? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Grand Caravan power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Grand Caravan’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Dodge Grand Caravan bounce so much? 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.
  • Why does my Grand Caravan's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Grand Caravan'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 do worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks feel like? Worn Grand Caravan shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
