Does Your 2003 Dodge Intrepid Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2003 Dodge Intrepid, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Intrepid bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Dodge Intrepid in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Intrepid 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 Intrepid 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 Intrepid Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Dodge Intrepid suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Dodge Intrepid’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Dodge Intrepid shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Dodge Intrepid’s 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.

2003 Intrepid Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Intrepid power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Intrepid is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Dodge Intrepid to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Intrepid's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Intrepid combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Dodge Intrepid shocks feel like? Worn Intrepid shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Intrepid might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Intrepid shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
