Does Your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Ram 1500 Van feels bouncy, drifts 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 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your Ram 1500 Van steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ram 1500 Van Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Dodge Ram 1500 Van shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2000 Ram 1500 Van Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ram 1500 Van? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Dodge Ram 1500 Van power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 Van bouncing excessively? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ram 1500 Van 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.
  • 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.
