When To Get 2007 Dodge Nitro Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2007 Dodge Nitro, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Nitro bounces, drifts 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 2007 Dodge Nitro in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, 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 explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Dodge Nitro’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 Nitro Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Dodge Nitro’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2007 Dodge Nitro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Nitro shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Dodge Nitro’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2007 Nitro Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Nitro? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Nitro 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 Nitro’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Dodge Nitro bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Nitro 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Nitro to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Nitro are bad? Worn Nitro shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
