Is It Time For 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 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 Ram 1500 Van bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Ram 1500 Van suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 Ram 1500 Van

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ram 1500 Van’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 1500 Van shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ram 1500 Van’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Van Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Dodge's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Ram 1500 Van? 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 connect with the road how Dodge intended.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ram 1500 Van power steering fluid 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’ll follow Dodge service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 Van bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Dodge Ram 1500 Van 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 Ram 1500 Van front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What do worn Dodge Ram 1500 Van shocks feel like? Worn Ram 1500 Van shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ram 1500 Van might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ram 1500 Van shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
