Is It Time For 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Van Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Van, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ram 2500 Van bounces, 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 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Van, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ram 2500 Van steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Dodge Ram 2500 Van

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Van’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Dodge up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ram 2500 Van’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Dodge Ram 2500 Van shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Van suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1999 Ram 2500 Van Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Dodge Ram 2500 Van? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Dodge intended.
  • Does my Dodge Ram 2500 Van power steering fluid need to be checked? 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 top it off per Dodge's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Dodge Ram 2500 Van bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ram 2500 Van goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Ram 2500 Van tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ram 2500 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 2500 Van shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ram 2500 Van feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ram 2500 Van travels over minor bumps.
