When To Get 1998 Dodge Intrepid Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1998 Dodge Intrepid, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Intrepid feels bouncy, 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 1998 Dodge Intrepid, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Intrepid suspension system needs repair, 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 Intrepid 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 Intrepid Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Dodge Intrepid suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Intrepid’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Intrepid shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Dodge Intrepid’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1998 Intrepid Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Intrepid? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Intrepid power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Intrepid is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Intrepid bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Intrepid might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Intrepid front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Intrepid are bad? If your Intrepid 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 Intrepid might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
