Is It Time For 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 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 2500 Van bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Ram 2500 Van suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ram 2500 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 2500 Van Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Dodge Ram 2500 Van shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Van’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2001 Ram 2500 Van Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ram 2500 Van's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Dodge Ram 2500 Van get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Dodge Ram 2500 Van power steering fluid 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 can fill it per Dodge's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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's nose dive down 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Dodge Ram 2500 Van are bad? 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.
