When To Get 2014 Dodge Journey Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Dodge Journey, 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 Journey jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Dodge Journey in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Journey suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Journey steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Journey Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Dodge Journey suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2014 Dodge Journey shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Dodge Journey shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Dodge Journey suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2014 Journey Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Journey power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Dodge Journey bounce so much? 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 Journey front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Journey need replacing? 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.
