Does Your 2001 Dodge Intrepid Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2001 Dodge Intrepid, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Intrepid feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Dodge Intrepid in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2001 Dodge Intrepid’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2001 Dodge Intrepid shock and strut replacement 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 Intrepid shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Dodge Intrepid suspension 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 2001 Dodge Intrepid Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Intrepid's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Intrepid? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Dodge Intrepid power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 Intrepid bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Intrepid goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Intrepid to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Intrepid'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 Intrepid need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Intrepid feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Intrepid travels over minor bumps.
