Does Your 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Power Ram 50 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Power Ram 50 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Dodge Power Ram 50 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.

Dodge Power Ram 50 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Power Ram 50 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Power Ram 50’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Power Ram 50'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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Power Ram 50? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Dodge Power Ram 50 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 Ram 50 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Power Ram 50 bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Power Ram 50 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.
  • Why does my Power Ram 50 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Power Ram 50 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 Power Ram 50 are bad? If your Power Ram 50 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Power Ram 50 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
