Is It Time For 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Grand Caravan jolts, pulls 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 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 parts of your Dodge Grand Caravan suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Grand Caravan

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan’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 indicators of worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Grand Caravan’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Dodge Grand Caravan get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Grand Caravan power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Grand Caravan is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Grand Caravan bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Grand Caravan to dip forward when I apply 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Grand Caravan need replacing? If your Grand Caravan shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Grand Caravan might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
