Does Your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Grand Caravan jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Grand Caravan Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2018 Grand Caravan Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my Dodge Grand Caravan get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Grand Caravan to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Grand Caravan when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Dodge Grand Caravan shocks? 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.
