Is It Time For 2020 Dodge Journey Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2020 Dodge Journey, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Journey bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Dodge Journey, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Journey 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 Dodge Journey’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Dodge Journey Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Dodge Journey’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2020 Dodge Journey shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Journey shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Journey’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 Journey Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Journey's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Dodge Journey get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Journey power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Journey’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Journey bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Journey 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.
  • Why does my Journey tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Dodge Journey shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Journey feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Journey travels over minor bumps.
