Does Your 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1994 Dodge Ram 1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ram 1500 bounces, pulls 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 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Dodge Ram 1500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ram 1500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ram 1500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 Ram 1500 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ram 1500? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • When does Dodge Ram 1500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 does my Dodge Ram 1500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Ram 1500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Ram 1500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Ram 1500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Dodge Ram 1500 shocks feel like? Worn Ram 1500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ram 1500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ram 1500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
