When To Get 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ram 1500 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Ram 1500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ram 1500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Dodge Ram 1500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 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 things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 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 help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Dodge Ram 1500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ram 1500 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Ram 1500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 bouncing 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 tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Dodge Ram 1500 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 1500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ram 1500 travels over minor bumps.
