Is It Time For 2001 Dodge Neon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2001 Dodge Neon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Neon feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2001 Dodge Neon, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Dodge Neon suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 Neon

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Dodge Neon suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Neon’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Neon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Dodge Neon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2001 Neon 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 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.
  • Why should my Dodge Neon 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Neon 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 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 Neon bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Neon might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Neon to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Neon 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Neon are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Neon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Neon travels over minor bumps.
