Does Your 2010 Dodge Journey Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Dodge Journey, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Journey jolts, 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 2010 Dodge Journey, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Journey 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Journey

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Dodge Journey’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2010 Dodge Journey’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Journey shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Dodge Journey suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2010 Journey Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Journey? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Journey power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Journey’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Journey bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Journey to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Journey to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Journey 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 Journey shocks? Worn Journey shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Journey might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Journey shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
